Sometimes a name will appear on an Opry schedule, and you just shake your head, wondering where in the world this booking came from. One of those names is on the Tuesday Night Opry this week as Gilbert O'Sullivan is on the schedule.
Most will remember Gilbert for his monster 1972 hit "Along Again (Naturally)." I have the 70s channel on Sirius satellite radio and even today, that song is on their heavily played rotation list. Obviously, that was not his only hit as he has had numerous songs on the charts as a singer/songwriter, including "Clair." At the age of 80, he is still making records and touring, of which will bring him to the Opry on Tuesday night in his Opry debut.
Tuesday March 31
7:00: Dailey & Vincent, Kylie Morgan, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Cochren & Co.
Intermission
8:20: The Whites, Brad Upton, Tami Neilson, JigJam
Moving ahead to Wednesday night, after only seeing two Opry members on the Tuesday schedule, Wednesday will feature Riders In The Sky, Mandy Barnett, Steven Curtis Chapman, Rhonda Vincent and Chris Janson.
