A tree always on stage, the tinsel, a few evergreens. That seems to have disappeared also.

One of my best Christmas presents ...for sure Frank. One of my best Christmas presents was finding this blog during 2015 !! Thanks Byron for the great effort you put into this. I thought, being an Opry listener for almost 60 years, that I knew a lot about the Opry. I found out differently and I love the friendly discussions we all have here. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Hannukah to those who celebrate that also - peace to all --<br />Dashmann ( John Dashner ) ; Flushing , Michigan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-76499128939335746912015-12-21T02:49:00.896-05:002015-12-21T02:49:00.896-05:00Byron, we can never thank you enough for all the g...Byron, we can never thank you enough for all the great Opry info that you share with us!

Mr. Bell put them on "The List" so we watched the first show from the stage and during one of the taped commercials they told the audience that if they wanted to come back for the second show they were more than welcome. So we watched the second show from the audience. It was a nice way to spend Christmas with my family that year.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287831362702766918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-79181210338751021522015-12-21T00:05:55.890-05:002015-12-21T00:05:55.890-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287831362702766918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-65352058593101728392015-12-20T22:52:29.267-05:002015-12-20T22:52:29.267-05:00Fred, I totally agree with you, Byron has provided...Fred, I totally agree with you, Byron has provided enough reading for more than several wintry nights ... it may take me until early Spring to get it all read. :-) <br /><br />Byron, as always, thank you for all you post for everyone to read, your tireless efforts are truly appreciated. <br /><br />I already see on the Friday Night (Christmas night) Opry, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers are in the line-up, I am sure they plan on celebrating their 39th year as Opry members. Both Opry shows are fairly nice line-ups. January 1st sees Marty Stuart and Ricky Skaggs in the line-up. The New Year is starting off just right as far as I am concerned. :-) Hope it continues. <br /><br />And I have learned nothing new as to when Marty's show will return to the RFD-TV airwaves. <br /><br />Sending my best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2016 to each of you and your families. <br /><br />CHEERS!!! <br /><br />(Jeanene)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-51973527940423371162015-12-20T18:38:18.288-05:002015-12-20T18:38:18.288-05:00Fred, Bismarck:

Your country-music company means a lot to me and keeps me coming back, even tho I rarely tune in to the Opry itself anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-41220483722648842352015-12-20T11:53:24.579-05:002015-12-20T11:53:24.579-05:00Wow!

Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Interestingly, on the first couple, back in what we would all agree were glory days for the Opry, about half of the members were there. That's great, but it's also surprising that there weren't more.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.com
