Vaughn has also written songs that have been recorded by such luminaries as Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Ernest Tubb, and many others. In 1990 she brought out a version of her Fifty Year of Saturday Nights, titled Grand Old Saturday Nights.
As you might expect, Tennessee's poet laureate is a down-home girl, making her residence in a tiny town, a dot on the map about sixty miles southeast of Nashville, called Bell Buckle, Tennessee, where she operates Bell Buckle Press, publishing other poets works as well as her own. She is famous for welcoming visitors and swapping stories in her Minnie Pearl-style straw hat.
