COVINGTON Newton County native and country music performer and songwriter Drew Parker recently celebrated two firsts — his first No. 1 hit on country radio and the birth of his first child.

In a Youtube interview with Covington Newton County Chamber of Commerce Interim President Debbie Harper, Parker talks about the excitement of those two milestones occurring in the same week. He joked that friends had been betting on whether or not the two events would converge — and they did.
