Have you ever been to the Grand Ole Opry?

[Slingblade1126]

Yes! I had the opportunity to watch my musical hero, Steve Wariner, perform. It was amazing. Suzy Bogguss also performed, which was an added treat, because at that time, I was a HUGE fan of hers! I'd like to get the chance again.

[DrPepper12]

Lol no. If Johnny Cash was playing I'd be there!! That man was 🔥🔥🔥

[rachel776]

Johnny Cash was banned because of damage he caused on stage when he was drunk. He met June there 10 years earlier.

[DrPepper12]

Ik!! He's the man in black - a real American original

Johnny Cash died Sept.12,2003 at 71, my current age, four weeks before my mother, who passed away at age 86 Oct.9,2003, four months after his wife June Carter Cash, who died May 15,2003, and the day after John Ritter ("Married With Children," Eight Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter" and cowboy actor Tex Ritter's son), who died Sept.11,2003, six days before his 55th birthday.

i been there as a tourist no concert at the time was happening

[WhitneySnow]

No but people who love country tell me it’s really impressive

[beefcakebradybatson]

Love to go because I'm a Country msic fan, but one question: Would they let a black man such as I enter the building?

[rachel776]

Deford Bailey the grandson of slaves, was one of the founding members of the Opry in 1926, and one of the most popular performers there for many years, so i think you're good. his last performance there was in 1982

the next black Opry member was 67 years later, Charlie Pride in 1993, then Darius Rucker (Hootie) in 2012

only 3 in 100 years but there are more and more black country artists now so we'll be seeing more as Opry members

[beefcakebradybatson]

But likely not persona non grata black Country artist Jimmie Allen.

[RebelinSteel]

No but I have friends that have, they did a tour around the place and saw someone famous (can’t remember who tbh). Looks like a great time.

[Nerdvana]

Only on the outside. The day I went is was closed :( I would love to see a performance one day.

[Likes2drive]

I’ve driven past it in Tennessee years ago but never went to it, I heard it’s nice

[fuddly]

I've never been.
But we used to watch out on telly, it was broadcast every week.
Maybe it still is, just not on a channel I watch.

[nawtee_me]

I have never been but thanks for sharing your time there.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, but wish I could go.

[Wiredone]
