We and two other couples we met at the campground caught the shuttle downtown, grabbed some supper and headed to the Grand Ole Opry.
Little Jimmy Dickens was one of the hosts and sang a few songs.
Marty Stuart also helped host the show and did a few of his songs.
Charlie Pride was one of the hosts and sang a few songs as well one of which was Crystal Chandeliers.
Paul Shafer treated us to some of the best piano playing I have heard in a long time.
The Charlie Daniels Band and of course many other performers as well. The Grand Ole Opry is still brodcasted live via radio and therefore is complete with advertisements as well, some of which are as entertaining as the show itself.
After the Opry show we headed to see the honky tonk scene where we saw this unusual fellow, a bit eccentric but he could play the most amazing piano and will be playing Jerry Lee Lewis in an upcoming movie. I am sure he will do a great job of it.
We stopped at the famous "Tootsies" bar which is located acoss the back alley from the Ryman Auditorium. The performers from the Grand Ole Opry would slip arcoss the back alley to Tootsies for a quick drink between sets. Many famous performers have sang at Tootsies and their pictures decorate the walls of the place.
