GARTH BROOKS donated his first gold record and other memorabilia to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of History during a ceremony November 30 in Washington, D.C. In addition to the gold record, he presented the museum with handwritten lyrics to The Beaches of Cheyenne and a guitar he smashed in Dallas in 1991 while taping his first NBC special, This Is Garth Brooks. He also donated several pieces of stage clothing.
