The
Grand Ole Opry
You
can’t visit Nashville and not go to the Grand Ole Opry! We were able to visit one afternoon and enjoy
a back stage tour which ended on the main stage so you can see what the
performers look at! Of course the
performers have bright lights shining in their eyes so they probably don’t see
most of the audience. We also went to a
show the same evening which was quite entertaining. We did not recognize any of the names of the
performers which included Raiders in the Sky, Jamie O’Neal, Bill Anderson,
Carly Pearce, The po’ Ramblin Boys (who were performing for the first time on
the Grand Ole Opry Stage which, if you are a country fan you may know, is a
very prestige’s moment for Country Stars), and Charles Esten. We really had a good time and there was not an
empty seat in the house!!
The
Opry began as a simple radio show in 1925 and is now the longest running live
radio show in the US and it is also heard around the world. Tune in on 650 AM WSM, or on opry.com, or
SiriusXM Satellite Radio on Friday and Saturday nights.
Between
the back stage tour and the evening live performance we dropped in to Madame
Tussauds Nashville where we saw several Country Star Celebrities done in wax which
we found both awesome and creepy at the same time!!
More
coming soon 😊
