T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. (The Awesome Power Of A Fully-Operational Mothership)

The P-Funk "reunion" album is released on June 11, 1996. It's often referred to as that because of the presence of original P-Funksters  Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, Junie Morrison, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and -- of course -- George Clinton.

Hank and The Opry

June 11, 1949 ~ Hank Williams debuts at the Grand Ole Opry with an unheard of six encores. A few years later, The Opry “dismissed” him. They told him he could return after he “sobered up” but, sadly, that never happened due to his death. Worse still, The Opry has never fixed this.
