10. There is only one thing @BrettEldredge loves as much as music – fish. “No fish I will not make out with you!?”
9. @LeeBrice recently got sponsored by Bud Light – here’s what he had to say about that! “Id like to thank bud light for sponsoring me.. It’s like a duck being sponsored by water!”
8. Every once in a while we just need a good joke. This week @FrankieBallard provided that. “Commercial flight has become so plane…”
7. This week music lost one of it’s greatest people. @ThompsonSquare had the best words for the loss “Thanks Dick Clark for all the wonderful memories from my childhood watching American Bandstand! #RIPDICKCLARK Shawna”
6. Sometimes I wonder how Jerrod Niemann (@JRodFromOz) comes up with these things “Not sure if love is completely blind…probably more like a cyclops with cataracts”
5. I can’t imagine standing in the Opry circle, let alone being on the walls of the Opry. @DariusRucker has experienced both “Seeing this on the @opry wall tonight… Totally speechless.”
4. @MartinaMcBride is one of the most grounded people in country music – “Having a great talk with my husband this morning on the back porch. Best friend. Good coffee. Beautiful morning. Life is good.”
3. Leave it to @DierksBentley to live out a song “anchorage Alaska…question: is it possible to party until the sun comes up when it never really goes down this time of year?! let’s try!!”
2. At least I’m not the only one that gets bothered by this – @ChrisYoungMusic tweeted: “Good lord. It’s just Country. Not Country and Western people.”
1. I guess it takes a country legend to get @BlakeShelton speechless! “‘@merlehaggard: Blake congratulations on your number one!!!’ Everybody stop!! Hats off.. Moment of silence.. Merle Haggard just tweeted me!!”

Last night, Keith Urban, Vince Gill, and Friends rocked Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for the Third Annual ‘We’re All for the Hall’ concert benefiting the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Fans of all ages gathered to get a musical taste of various duos and groups during the “Come Together” themed evening. Although, there were a few solo surprise exceptions.
Unlike year’s passed, Keith Urban didn’t do a mini set of his solo show to kick-off the evening. Instead, Keith sang a couple of songs before inviting Vince Gill on stage with him to perform a few of his songs. This set the tone for the evening which included a two-song set from Little Big Town, Thompson Square, The Pistol Annies, The Band Perry, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boy, Lady Antebellum, Rascall Flatts, and Diamond Rio.
It’s pretty impressive to see so many legends and so many new folks on one stage. I’m sure many fans, myself included, were seeing someone for the very first time. I never thought I would see Alabama perform together since they retired before I had the chance. And, it’s amazing to hear an arena full of people sing songs that are nearly two decades old; especially when some of the folks in attendance weren’t that old.
Two legendary solo artists graced the stage last night, and the fact they were solo didn’t matter at all. The legendary Don Williams rocked the sold-out crowd to the famed “Tulsa Time” and Merel Haggard sang three or four hits while people sat jaw agape at the very fact they were seeing this legend perform before their very eyes.
Probably the most memorable part of the night was when Vince Gill, Rascal Flatts, Diamond Rio, and The Oak Ridge Boys invited Keith Urban to join The Grand Ole Opry via duffel Bag. Keith almost appeared shocked while he tried to gain his composure before speaking. The arena went nuts, to say the least. This is a moment Keith’s fans have waited for almost as long as he has. I’ve spent many Opry performances holding my breath only to be left disappointed and light headed. Last night, everyone screamed and cheered.
At the end of the night, the entire crowd returned to the stage to perform a very unorganized version of “I Saw Here Standing There.” To be honest, I’m not sure anyone sang anything other than the first verse and the chorus. But hey, all of those folks on stage at one time having the time of their lives…I’ll take it.
