The Opry's 95th birthday
The legendary Grand Ole Opry celebrates it's 95th birthday in October, by welcoming a live audience back to it's Saturday radio show for the first time in 6 months.
The radio programme, which began in 1925, continued throughout lockdown, with a socially distanced concert from the stage of the Opryhouse in Nashville, without a live audience, but still heard on WSM Radio, and Circle TV and online.
This Saturday's show, in front of 500 fans, will feature Vince Gill, who has appeared several times during lockdown, as well as Dierks Bentley, Terri Clark & Lorrie Morgan. Lorrie made her Opry debut at the age of 13, when her father, George Morgan brought her on stage. That was 48 years ago!
The actual Opry 95th anniversary isn't until November 28th,
