The Grand Ole Opry has posted that Charlie McCoy's official induction date to become the newest member of the Opry will be Wednesday July 13. I am sure it will be a great evening as among those scheduled, are Opry members Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers, along with Lorrie Morgan.
Speaking of new Opry members, Jamey Johnson, who became an Opry member last month, is scheduled for both the Tuesday Night Opry and the Wednesday Night Opry this week. It is certainly nice to see him on the Opry's schedule so soon after his induction.
Opry members Jeannie Seely, Ricky Skaggs and Bill Anderson join Jamey on Tuesday night, while Mike Snider, Mandy Barnett, along with Jeannie, are on the schedule for Wednesday night. I would have to look, but it has been a pretty long time since Mike has done a mid-week Opry show.
Carter Faith and Andy Statman will be making their Opry debuts this week, while comedian Henry Cho is also on the schedule. Maggie Rose is back as is Kristian Bush.

Of course I'm thrilled for and about Charlie. But an induction on a Wednesday Night Opry? We all complain a lot on here, but the key thing is, he and the others WANT to be there.
