Near the end of his set at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday night, Jimmy Wayne said to the crowd, “Come on and join me for some sweet tea and a baked sweet potato at Santa Fe,” referring to a nearby restaurant. By the time Wayne arrived at the restaurant, about a dozen fans were waiting in the parking lot and lobby to see if he’d really show up, and within 15 minutes about two dozen total were seated around tables together. Fans from Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota and other states got to know each other, and share sweet tea with Wayne. At the end of the evening, the artist got his guitar from his car, and invited his fiddle player Jake Clayton to join him in a couple more songs.
