On Saturday night, 29 Oct, we went to the Grand Ole Opry House. The Grand Ole Opry is the oldest continuous radio program in the United States and is broadcast live on the radio at 650 AM WSM at 7 p.m. Central Time every Saturday night. Because it is a live radio show there are commercials between performances. The show is divided into four 30 minute segments each having a sponsor and a host who performs and introduces the performers. The show we attended included Commercials for Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, U.S. Bank, Dollar General and Humana. Performers were Jimmy Dickens (Host), The Whites, The Grascals, Mike Snider (Host), Lee Greenwood, Clint Black, John Conlee (Host), Connie Smith, Gretchen Wilson, Opry Square Dancers, Jeannie Seely (Host), and Charlie Daniels Band. It was Charlie Daniels 75th Birthday celebration. It was a fun evening. You will notice there is an 8 foot circle of hardwood placed at center stage. It was taken from the Ryman to keep the Grand Ole Opry in touch with the tradition of the Ryman.
