It is just so sad when a singer loses their voice and keeps trying to continue. <br /><br />Stu did mention that he had been in a very serious car accident and had gone over a cliff, which he said was why he had not been on the Opry in a while. He said it was through God that he was still with us. He did sing C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S. <br /><br />Here is a Christmas wish from me to Stu: I hope that your voice comes back to what it once was. <br /><br />I don't know who else has noticed this, but over the past several weeks, they seem to be saying Friday Night Opry less and less and saying some other words. For example, when going to a commerical, Eddie will say, "We will return to our broadcast after these words.", instead of saying we will return to the Friday Night Opry. Other times he will say the "now back to the show" instead of saying back to the Friday Night Opry. I know it is a small thing, but I wonder why the change. <br /><br />(from Byron)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-87359501428463720602011-12-21T21:29:54.891-05:002011-12-21T21:29:54.891-05:00One of the problems with any Christmas lineup is t...One of the problems with any Christmas lineup is that some Opry performers aren't in town. I believe that Jimmy C. Newman, who rarely misses a Saturday night, goes home to Louisiana, for example. But so few members, especially compared with the list you posted from 1988 ... pitiful.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.com
