Vernon, the raccoon, strums a country tune for Country Music Day.

A nod to country music legend and Florida born Mel Tillis, who was born August 8th, 1932 in Dover (near Tampa). Tillis was raised mostly down in Pahokee after his family moved to the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Tillis is best known for having a stutter when he speaks and then a clear dynamite voice when singing.
 
Many got to know Tillis through his hilarious appearances on programs such as The Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, etc. During his visits to these programs he would make fun of his stutter and also wow the audience with his vocal cords.
 
Mel Tillis died November 19th, 2017 in Ocala.
