The thought crossed my mind:
Sin...Fred, Bismarck:<br /><br />The thought crossed my mind:<br /><br />Since the original and (as far as I know) ongoing purpose of the Jamboree is to promote the record shop, wouldn't the show do a better job of that if it were broadcast earlier -- right after the Opry is concluded, as in the old days? One thinks it would certainly hold onto more of the radio/Internet Opry audience.<br /><br />This would seem to be a consideration, given the record shop's recent struggles.<br /><br />This would also bring back the immediacy of a "live" show (if we ever see the real Jamboree again).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-38363606656315058622016-04-05T07:50:06.482-04:002016-04-05T07:50:06.482-04:00I'm being told that Rhonda Vincent will be doi...I'm being told that Rhonda Vincent will be doing the Midnight Jamboree on April 30th. <br />Midnight Jamboree will be at the Texas Troubadour Theatre on Music Valley Dr. The taping will be at 10:00 PM and the broadcast will be on WSM at midnight.

To be fair, he wasn't very good about his Opry membership.<br /><br />About the TNN telecasts ... first, that's why Keith Bilbrey was up there in the balcony, to make introductions but also to fill time as needed. A couple of times he had to wing it for a while. Second, the key to those telecasts were that they were honest. I wonder how many people who saw the later "produced" shows for an hour came to the Opry thinking that the cast consisted entirely of 20-year-old rock singers.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998867386294693956noreply@blogger.com
