That group seemed to me to think that being someone was more important than doing something.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-44202340287413928842009-08-27T19:47:38.225-04:002009-08-27T19:47:38.225-04:00I agree.

Graham Brown; T.G.Sheppard, Daryle Singletary, and the other "past their prime" artists that the Opry brings on, but you are right: they are not going to draw any more fans to the Opry. Maybe one per show would be nice, but so would seeing Charlie Louvin, Ray Pillow, and the others.fayfarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173166778978335059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-43429166848113722142009-08-27T18:52:16.345-04:002009-08-27T18:52:16.345-04:00It's a fine lineup, and I am a great fan and a...It's a fine lineup, and I am a great fan and admirer of Dr. Ralph. I wish Ricky and especially Patty would show up a bit more often, too.<br /><br />The guest appearances by Daryle Singletary and Clay Walker are fine, but you make a good point that neither has been setting the woods on fire. And that's my problem with what is happening at the Opry: are they going to draw better than, say, Charlie Louvin? Or some of the other members who don't get much time there? I have my doubts.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.com
