Jim Nabors Not Singing At Indy 500 This Year
From ESPN: Heart surgery will prevent Jim Nabors from performing "Back Home Again in Indiana" at this year's Indianapolis 500. The 81-year-old Nabors will have surgery later this month, Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesman Doug Boles said. "I
am very disappointed that I will not be at this year's Indianapolis
500," Nabors said in a statement. "I have attended nearly 40 races and
been honored to sing 'Back Home Again.' There is no place I would
rather be on Memorial Day weekend than with my family of Indianapolis
500 fans. I am looking forward to returning and singing in person once
again in 2013." http://espn.go.com/racing/indycar/story/_/id/7882796/jim-nabors-miss-indianapolis-500-back-home-indiana-performance
It's kind of hoke for Nabors to sing the song. First, he wasn't born in Indiana nor has he ever lived there, but it is a 40 year old tradition and he certainly has some deep pipes.
Hope he recovers quickly.

I just wish sometimes people would give credit where credit is due... zb1
