We’ve had so much fun. I learned more jokes.  I’ve gotten more jokes to tell.  I have jokes I can never say again.

“Nine months later and beyond my wildest dreams, as far as creativity, something was finished that even blew me away.”

Little Jimmy Dickens- ‘The Legend’

Little Jimmy Dickens

The Nashville Scene has released it’s ‘People’ issue for 2012. The list is a who’s who in Nashville including Top Chef, teacher, geek, broadcaster, and more. The Grand Ole Opry‘s own Little Jimmy Dickens was given the very prestigious title of ‘The Legend.’

Little Jimmy Dickens has been an Opry member since 1948, and he’s still a crowd favorite today. The pint-sized bedazzled star warms the heart with just a glance…and a keen sense of humor.

“The secret is getting acquainted with your audience,” says Dickens.

Jimmy has bore witness to the rise and fall and rise again of country music. He’s been around that long.

Rascal Flatts and Trace Adkins Turn the Grand Ole Opry into a Dance Party

  

The lineup for the Grand Ole Opry was FANTASTIC last night.  From start to finish it was an exceptional show.  Little Jimmy Dickens started the night off and got the crowd giggling with jokes that can only be told by Little Jimmy. 

 

Also giving stellar performances last night were Brett Eldredge, Edens Edge, Heidi Newfield and Larry Gatlin. 

The party got started when Trace Adkins took the stage for a 30 minute set that got fans out of their seats rockin along to “Ladies Love Country Boys”, “Just Fishin”and other songs from his new album “Proud to be Here.”    I met a couple who drove from New York just to see Trace perform at the legendary Opry.  Trace was nice enough to sign a  cowboy hat for them before ending his set. 

For those of you who think the Grand Ole Opry isn’t as fun as a high end tour stop for Rascal Flatts.  You were proved WRONG last night.  Rascal Flatts took the stage for the final half hour of the show and there wasn’t a person there who wasn’t out of their seats singing along to every word.  

If you can’t make it to Nashville to visit the Grand Ole Opry in person don’t forget there are other ways to get the experience.

  • Tune your radio dial to 650 AM WSM to hear full, unedited broadcasts of every Opry show.
