Lot 4 G101 — Jimmie Rodgers 

Jimmie was known as the "Father of Country Music" and "The Singing Brakeman." After getting a plate number single postmarked at the official city of Meridian, Mississippi, with the first day of issue cancel, I traveled to the home of country music, Nashville, Tennessee for a great related first day cancel. The beautiful, clear large bullseye has four thin killer bars (unusual and looks very  good), and this day of issue postmark ties both stamps to the envelope. What could be better for the "Father of Country Music" than Nashville — the capital of country music?
