It's been quite a "Dukes" week here at BRBTV, between sharing the love from last weekend's Hazzard County Christmas event in Corunna, Michigan, and now seeing the details being released of the 40th anniversary celebration at Cooter's in January. Here's what Cooter's has sent around ...
Come Celebrate the 40th Birthday with us!
HAZZARD COUNTY’S 40TH BIRTHDAY TO BE CELEBRATED IN NASHVILLE’S MUSIC VALLEY JANUARY 26, 2019
On
January 26, 1979, “The Dukes of Hazzard” premiered on CBS Television
as an unheralded midseason replacement. Now, 40 years later, the cast
and fans of the show will join together in Nashville, Tennessee, on
Saturday, January 26, 2019 to celebrate “40 years of good times in
Hazzard County.” Several events are planned, centered around “Cooter’s
in Music City” on McGavock Pike off Briley Parkway.
The event will include “Meet and Greet plus pix and Autograph sessions”
with cast members, a screening of the very first “Dukes” episode at The
Troubadour Theatre, followed by a cast concert at The Nashville Palace,
with Cooter’s Garage Band and very special guest Whey Jennings, the
grandson of Waylon Jennings, who narrated “The Dukes” and wrote and sang
the ever popular theme song, “Good Ol’ Boys.”
Cast members who plan to attend are Tom Wopat, who created the role of
“Luke Duke,” Catherine Bach, known to the world as “Daisy Duke," Sonny
Shroyer, who played “Deputy Enos,” and Rick Hurst, who portrayed “Deputy
Cletus.” Ben “Cooter” Jones and Alma Viator, the proprietors of Cooter’s in Music City, the Dukes of Hazzard Museum and shop on
McGavock Pike, are hosting the shindig.
“The amazing thing about our show is that it seems as fresh and new as
ever,” says Ben Jones, who played the sidekick mechanic “Cooter” on the
show. “All over the world, folks watch the 'Dukes' in
different languages, and they watch it with their children. The kids who
grew up watching it back in the early '80s are watching it with their
own kids now. And some of them are watching with their grandchildren!
That’s the greatest compliment our show could have.
“When we first came on the air, the television critic for the Los
Angeles Times said, 'This show won’t last past the first commercial
break,'” says Jones. “Just goes to show you, never pay attention to your critics!”

Are you going? May be my phone but nothing loads up on the page but a pic of lee 1 on the ramp
Thanks for letting me know! I had turned the text to white the other day when I saw it wasn't showing up on the black background on desktop, but on mobile it's a white background! So it's orange now, appropriately!
Anyway, not sure if I will make it there, but I figured it was right up your alley since you go to Tennessee a lot.
