Hi Matthew, I read two of your books and the one about Ghost of Rock and Roll, brought to mind a question for you. about 3 years ago I saw a program based on a book, about Haunted County Music and ghosts of country stars. Loved the TV program and enjoyed the book, but for the life of me I cannot remember who wrote it. I'm hoping this will ring a bell, and maybe you can help me out. I "Think" it aired on TNN? thanks

I'm wondering whether you saw a program based on Bobby Mackey's nightclub. "Ghost Adventures" -- https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/g... -- and "A Haunting" both did episodes on the haunting. The case was explored in "Hell's Gate: The Terror At Bobby Mackey's Music World." I believe one of the employees involved in the case also wrote a book about his possession during the ordeal, but can't find the reference.
If that's not it, during research for my book, I came across references to another volume about country music's ghosts, but was unable to find a volume to use and I'm not sure if they ever made a television show based on it.
I hope this helps and I'd be happy to research further.(less)
