On this day in 1997, CMA Entertainers of the Year, Brooks & Dunn, played a special show for their fan club at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. In keeping with tradition, both Kix and Ronnie stuck around to meet and sign autographs for attendees — even though there were over 2,000 of them. In typical fashion, the guys weren’t content with stopping until they’d taken care of everyone there. They started signing at 9 pm and wrapped things up at 5 am the following morning.
