Schonye: good point...also add Buck Owens and what he brought out of Bakersfield...in our neck of the woods we start getting pretty heavy into the bluegrass part of the world, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs & Union Station now.

Little bit of trivia, the idea/inspiration for the Grand Old Opry supposedly came from a show in Mammoth Spring, AR, which is about 17 miles south of us here in Fulton County...every year they have a "Solemn Old Judge Days" festival in honor of George D. Hay, the creator of the Grand Old Opry.
