Nashville Tenn

We are spending a couple of nights here to break up the trip to Branson. We will be back
as we have found there is lots to do here in Nashville.
Today was a goose bump day as we toured the Grand Ole Opry. What an experience to know you
are walking where so many great stars have been. Our hostess was just the best with lots of
information to share.
We got to stand in the circle cut out from the floor of the Ryman Auditorium where
the show was held from 1943-1974 when it moved to its present location. Just think we stood and believe it or not sang on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry!!!
The Grand Ole Opry has 66 members at this time.They all have mailboxes where they pick up any fan mail when they come to perform. They usually drive theirselves to the show and are ready to go on stage when they get there. Just a nice down home feel to the place.
Little Jimmy Dickens is the oldest member at 91 and still performs at almost every show.It was a
great tour and we enjoyed it very much.

Tomorrow on to Branson
Until Next time
Linda
