If you made the considerable effort to attend the Opry from somewhere like Michigan you were rewarded with a fantastic lengthy show despite the incomplete interstate highway system which made you drive past the numerous fireworks vendors on local roads leading into Nashville at that time. It would be very difficult if I was a youngster nowdays to fall in love with the Opry like I did in the 60's listening to those 5 hour shows on WSM.<br /><br />Dashmann - Flushing, MichiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-16524824676171583852015-06-10T20:32:14.390-04:002015-06-10T20:32:14.390-04:00I am surprised there is not a second show on Satur...I am surprised there is not a second show on Saturday night,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-72057477717859869892015-06-10T18:48:43.981-04:002015-06-10T18:48:43.981-04:00Looks like a great lineup for this week.

Friday's show is somewhat like a Branson entertainers reunion night, because Mickey Gilley, Charley Pride, Mel Tillis, and Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers have all performed at their own theaters there through the years. <br /><br />Clare Bowen has been removed from the Saturday night show. Hopefully those 2 spots on the saturday show will be able to be filled hopefully by some Opry members, rather than some guest artists. We haven't seen Stonewall Jackson yet this year. Perhaps he might stop by this week. <br /><br />It's really sad to hear about Jim Ed Brown's cancer returning. I'm praying he recovers again. Kylenoreply@blogger.com
