Fiddler On The Proof:
Moments before leaving the touring stage for the last time, MCA's George Strait removed his black Resistol hat and flung it out into a record-breaking crowd of more than 104,000 (Breaking News 6/7). On the receiving end of that hat was Dallas Stars hockey player and, amazingly, former Nashville Predator Vernon Fiddler. Sitting beside Fiddler was Dot regional and former MCA rep E.J. Bernas, who brought him backstage wearing the historic, pre-autographed headgear proudly. Read Country Aircheck's recap of the final show in tonight's Country Aircheck Weekly.
