Grand Ole Opry Saturday, 6/1/19

We were fortunate to attend the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night. As of today, you can tune in at home on a live mobile app, 650 AM WSM, and on opry.com wsmonline.com. On Friday and Saturday nights it can be found on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

We arrived about an hour early not knowing what to expect. First off, we were starving! There were two choices of food trucks there. Kind of reminded me of our house choices – take it or leave it! No, not really! One was a traditional BBQ Truck and the other had Burgers/Fried Fish/Grilled Cheese and Hot Dogs. We chose to try the BBQ. It was fantastic! I’m so glad I waited all day to eat!

The show was beyond! (I think that’s what the youth are saying today.) Some of the singers seemed as if they really just belonged in church choirs, they were the ones inducted to the Opry 50 some years ago! One octogenarian looked as if he had a hard time keeping his poor teeth in, he would do this teeth licking thing! On a jumbotron it just doesn’t look sexy at all! Overall, if you ever have a chance to go, you should. Just tick it off your list! There is a new group that is up and coming called King Calaway – they were amazing! They will be winning all the awards in the near future. They did a song with Ricky Skaggs – best song of the evening next to all of the ones Mark Wills sang – (swoon)

Lastly, if you are lucky enough to go to the Opry, there are NO bad seats!
