    Nope. For you Andy Griffith fans, Donna Fargo was born in Mount Airy, NC.

    It is in fact Lynn ("I beg your pardon/I never promised you a rose garden") Anderson


    Gah, and number 8 is Waylon Jennings. :bang:

    No it's not.

    Waylon and Jessi hooked up later.

    I didn't know who it was, so I looked it up.

    Hawk has a good clue in his question. I should've read it closer before Googling it. :doh:
