Judy Baker
Born: Aug, 9, 1924

Can't seem to find any info on who Judy was and why she's referred to as
"Country Music's Hostess" on her grave marker?

Verse 1:
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
Closing time another day is done
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
He can't find a job, but Lord he's found a gun
Verse 2:
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
Then he lets the old man run out in the street
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
And already he can feel that great relief
Chorus:
Oh how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
Fly like eagles out among the stars
Verse 3:
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives
Chorus.
Verse 4:
The evening news it carries all the details
He dies in every living room in town
At his home a bottle's thrown in anger
And his father cries we'll never live this down
Chorus:
Oh how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
And fly like eagles out among the stars
Fly like eagles out among the stars

Do you happen to have the link where it mentions her being treasurer in
the Homer/Jethro club?
I did searches and never saw anything like that.

Somehow I doubt the Judy Baker on that web site is the same one buried
in Tennessee. That web site is in Australia.
The person who ran across and took the photo of Judy's grave is seeking
info about her being it says "Country Music's Hostess".
I suggested he contact the cemetery to see if they have any insight
about her.
Maybe she ran come local country music nightclub or something.
I'll be sure to post more if I find out anything.
Guess it's time to change name to "Columbo"? LOL
Thanks for your help...
