The Show Goes On For Relocated Opry

May 6, 2010/by contributor

A flooded Grand Ole Opry House was not enough to keep the hallowed country music institution from going forward and carrying on. Despite Nashville’s new and unwelcome disaster area status, the Tuesday night Opry performance went on as scheduled last night (5/4). Relocated to the War Memorial Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry convened with performers including Chris Young, Suzy Bogguss, Restless Heart, Marty Stuart, Jimmy C. Newman, Jack Green and Jeannie Seely (who lost her home in the flood). Also in attendance were Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. Alexander took to the piano to perform a version of “Tennessee Waltz.”

“The Opry is a show,” said Grand Ole Opry Group President Steve Buchanan. “No matter where the show is held, it takes the heart of country music with it. This is a historic occasion.”

    I’M SO GRATEFUL TO SHARON EAVES FOR SHARING THIS SO THAT WE THE COUNTRY FANS CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NASHVILLE. I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE JEANNIE ETC. ALL PERFORMING. WE LOST OUR HOME DUE TO FORECLOSURE IN 2005; STARTED OVER THEN HURRICANE IKE CAME SEPT. 2008 WHILE WE WERE JUST STARTING TO RECOVER; ALL GONE (INCLUDING JOBS!). DEVASTATION CAN HIT ANYONE, ANYTIME IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO OR WHERE; IT’S SO HARD TO RECOVER. MY VAN BROKE DOWN 9/30/09 THEN MY HUSBAND IN ICU FOR 2 MONTHS THEN HOME TO RECUPERATE. HE WASNT ABLE TO ‘HOLD ON’ TO SEE BRAD PAISLEY MARCH 11TH AT OUR RODEO HOUSTON THAT WE ALWAYS LOOK SO FORWARD TO SEEING HIM IT’S OUR TRADITION WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD NEPHEW. MY NEPHEW WENT WITH ME ALONG WITH FAMILY. COUNTRY MUSIC IS THAT WAY. WOULD’VE LOVED TO HAVE RECEIVED A SYMPATHY CARD BUT..I SURE DO MISS HIM & OUR LIFE OF BEING ABLE TO DRIVE TO & ENJOY NASHVILLE. KEEP THE FAITH NASHVILLE, JEANNIE & OTHERS WHO LOST THEIR HOMES HAVE GOOD FRIENDS THERE THAT CAN & WILL HELP THEM. SHE & OTHERS LIKE HER WILL BE BLESSED. I’M KEEPING THE FAITH I WILL TOO HOPEFULLY SOON. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR BELOVED NASHVILLE-HOME OF COUNTRY MUSICS HEART & SOUL!
