                         HON. MARSHA BLACKBURN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 2013

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is sometimes true that behind every 
great man is a great woman. It is almost always true that behind every 
great song, great band, great sound, there's a great woman. I rise 
today to honor several great women of Nashville's renowned music 
community.
  Given yearly, the Source Awards pay respect to the women who add 
their character, strength, talents, and dreams to the foundation of 
Music City. Bebe Evans, Bonnie Garner, Debi Fleischer-Robin, Donna 
Hilley, Gerrie McDowell, Paula Szeigis, and Sarah Trahern are leaders 
in their industry and are rightfully chosen as this year's 2013 
Honorees.
  From award-winning bands to award-winning productions to every note 
that falls in between, Nashville is home to it's own unique sound. I 
thank all those involved with the Source Awards for offering their 
time, talents, and treasures to honor the women who make Music City so 
grand. I ask my colleagues to join with me in celebrating the women 
whose contributions and life's work strengthen and celebrate that 
incredible sound.
