Nashville is home to the Grand Ole Opry House. The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly country-music stage concert in Nashville, Tn, which was founded in 1925 by George D Hay. The Grand Ole Opry started out as a one hour radio barn dance on WSM. 90 years and still going strong! That’s why no visit to Nashville would be complete without catching a show at the Grand Ole Opry.
Of course since we had been in the neighborhood we did go to see a show. It was very exciting to see the show that made country music famous.
Our seats were pretty good. We saw Jason Crabb. Never heard of Jason Crabb before that night but I can tell you I will be listening to his music he brought me to tears.
Then came Billy Ray Cyrus. I remember his hit song,” Achy Breaky Heart“, was a little disappointed that he didn’t sing the song but we enjoyed his performance anyway. Do you remember the Achy Breaky Heart dance? Did you know that Billy Ray Cyrus is staring in CMT comedy called Still The King. Got to try to catch up on this show, did hear it was good.
Crystal Gayle was the next country singer we saw perform at the Grand Ole Opry House. Crystal did sing her big hit, “Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue” I could not believe her hair was still that long, like down to her butt long.
The Grand Ole Opry House was truly grand. We laughed and cried as the performers performed…
So ‘Grand’ to have experienced the Grand Ole Opry House…Country music singers are great performers, and now I understand what the big to do is with country music.
