On Sunday 11 September 2022, Gene Watson remembered spending time in Sunburg, Minnesota (on Saturday 10 September 2022).
‘We had a great time with a nice crowd and beautiful weather in Sunburg, Minnesota, on Saturday 10 September 2022, at Danielson Monson Lake Opry Festival, 225 170th Avenue North East, Sunburg, MN 56289.
I took this photo with the band, Ricochet – I’m sure you recall their No.1 song, ‘Daddy’s Money’ (written by Bob DiPiero, Mark D. Sanders and Steve Seskin) (No.1 for one week in July 1996).
Today, on this solemn day of remembrance, we are thinking of the family and friends who had loved ones that passed on 9/11′
