    I don't know how Merle Haggard came up with the Strangers,
    but it's perfect.

    I don't know who was in the Texas Troubadors,
    but, Tommy Duncan was in the Texas Playboys;
    and Ralph Mooney, who played steel guitar for Merle Haggard,
    wrote Crazy Arms.

    Match the singer with their band:

    Alison Krauss
    Ray Benson
    Paulette Carlson

    Haggard came up with the name from his first hit "(From Now On) All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers"
    Members of The Texas Troubadors included at different times
    Roger Miller, Cal Smith, Willie Nelson and a young Ohioan named Donnie Young who later became Johnny Paycheck

    4 is incorrect because there is one team that has waited longer than a lot of the expansion teams--remember Im looking for number of years not times being champion

    chewbacca got 8 and 10 right

    and chuck got 2.3, and 5 correct
    And Maude was of course a spinoff of All In The Family BTW

    Hawk has correctly answered my country music question,
    matching the singers to their bands.

    Here's a song from one of those singers,
    the very talented Paulette Carlson


    So, changing subjects, which actress has appeared
    in more than one episode of Star Trek,
    and more than one episode of Law and Order?

    (Including all series)

    Just to be fair, here's a picture:

    The Mamas and the Papas

    The great Cass Elliot
    John Phillips
    Michelle Phillips
    Denny... (Doherty)

    Oh My God!
    The Monterey Pop Festival - 1967
    Michelle (so young), Cass, Janis Joplin

    [YT="Creeque Alley"]2g0cRRak-i8[/YT]

    John Phillips is the father of MacKenzie Phillips
    who was in American Graffiti, and the TV show
    One Day at a Time.

    Michelle Phillips is the only member
    of the Mamas and the Papas who is alive today.
