Ricky Skaggs did a great job and was singing country music last night and not bluegrass, and for those who have not seen pictures of Ricky lately, he has lost a bunch of weight. Larry Gatlin was amazing, as he usually is. The rest were ok, nothing special. Jeannie Seely, Jan Howard and Riders In The Sky did as expected. Connie Smith finished out the show.

You can hear parts of the cut on June's website.

Her ringing tenor was a highlight of Roy's recordings of the late 1950s, and her solo 45-rpm release on Hickory c. 1960, "Sweeter than the Flowers," is still in my heavy rotation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-32588491036804358772015-08-13T10:04:22.198-04:002015-08-13T10:04:22.198-04:00The 1992 show brings back great memories.

As I grow older and things change, listening to my recordings of the Opry of this era can bring a tear to my eyes.<br /><br />When June was on the second show with Roy there was quite a bit of conversation between the two of them and you could tell Roy was very happy to have her back on stage with him. And his eye for the pretty girls could be heard in his voice as he talked with her! She sounded great that night as did the staff band supporting her. Congratulations to June on her new recording project.<br /><br />I notice that the Cox family was on with Allison Krauss this night just like this past weekend.<br /><br />Speaking of this weekend, it is hard for the Opry to impress or satisfy me these days but this past weekend was really nice and would have been well worth the ticket price.<br /><br />Jim<br />Knightsville, INAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
