Welcome to my page for the Grand Ole Opry. I was at the Opry House on Saturday, March 7th. I went by early in the afternoon to pick up my ticket from "Will Call". While there I decided to buy a ticket for the Back Stage Tour at 4:00. The tour lasted for about an hour and is really worth taking if you ever have the opportunity. Afterwards, I wandered around the courtyard for about an hour until the doors opend at 6:00 for the show starting at 7:00. This was my first visit to the Opry, but it sure won't be my last. Below are pictures from the show with additional comments. Click on a thumbnail to open the picture in a new window. |

| The backdrop to the stage | The circle is from the stage floor from the Ryman Auditorium. Thirty-one years of history stood here. The women in the circle were celebrating their birthday. The rest of the tour got to sing "Happy Birthday" to them. So yes, I have sung on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry! :) |
