Tracy Lawrence was very impressive both nights. Bobby Bare, Ray Stevens and Ronnie Milsap all nailed it on Saturday night. As Jim mentioned, Bill Anderson did a great job with "This Old Army Hat." <br /><br />The only one missing was Bobby Osborne, and my understanding is that he cancelled due to the heavy storms in Kentucky. <br /><br />It is always a nice weekend when you can hear many of the legends of country music, including Gene Watson, Connie Smith, Jesse McReynolds and Ricky Skaggs among others.

They are always respectful of our country, the military and other traditions. I leave it at that so not to walk on any toes.<br /><br />This weekend makes me think of Jan Howard and her two sons that served as well as Charlie Walker and others. Of course both Jesse and Bobby served in the military as well. <br /><br />Jim<br />Knightsville, IN Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-55550527392419886682017-05-27T22:26:05.623-04:002017-05-27T22:26:05.623-04:00bobby Bare was just wonderful!!

When Garth was done, Hank Snow came out and started to make the usual comment--"Ladies and gentlemen, Garth Brooks, a terrific young singer," or whatever it was, and Garth ran back over and kissed him on the cheek. The audience roared and, well, Mr. Snow was a little surprised. Then he said, "I'll never wash my face again."Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-86961267854428791882017-05-25T02:22:48.424-04:002017-05-25T02:22:48.424-04:00While I love the Whites, it's weird and quite ...While I love the Whites, it's weird and quite sad for me as a huge HUGE fan that Milsap isn't getting the majority of the final segment! That more than likely means 2 songs and done! <br />Mr. Accuff said years ago that the opry wasn't built around one big star even when one showed up, but in the last few years, and I think very smartly they have built shows around names. Ronnie is third on the list of most #1s in country music history, and isn't on as much as he once was. So when he is, give him the full segment which is what they have been doing in the last few years. Perhaps the point will not even matter and he'll do more than just 2. As he should. E. Z.
