Bill and Gloria Carlberg returned last week from Nashville, TN after attending the All-Star birthday celebration for Country Western Star Loretta Lynn! Many of Loretta’s big hits were sung by artists Darius Rucker, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, and Kacey Musgraves, just to name a few. The show included 3 of her duets with Conway Twitty, performed by Garth Brooks & Tricia Yearwood, Alan Jackson & LeeAnn Womack, and George Strait & Martina McBride. For the grand finale, all the stars and Loretta took the stage and started singing “Coal Miners Daughter” when Loretta reached for the mic and finished the song. Even though Loretta Lynn suffered a stroke two years ago and a broken hip last year (plus she turns 87 on April 14), she can still sing! Artist Keith Urban even jumped out of the cake! The celebration was a full 3-hour show. Loretta’s sister, Crystal Gayle also performed. 12,000 of her biggest fans filled the Bridgestone Arena. Bill and Gloria were very happy to be a part of this awesome celebration.
