[Dixielandjazz] Newhart on country music

[Don Ingle]

asked by the nurse if he

Hey...Country music was very kind to the Ingle family. Of course, Red's send
ups were tongue-in-cheek parodies of it. But the C/W folks didn't see to
catch the point, and some even dug out their mattress money to buy the
platters...thank them very much. (A mattress was the hillbilly's .banking
institution.)
