May 7 Grand Ole Opry

I got up this morning and it was cool and very foggy. I took Maggie for a walk and washed a load of my laundry. The Park has one set of washer/dryers.  No one using them at 5:30 in the morning. It was about ten before the fog burned off and then it became a sunny day. I took a little nap and just relaxed all morning. We left for Nashville about two oclock. We drove downtown to see all the sights. No one really wanted to walk around so it was a car tour. We headed to eat about 4:00 before the show. We settled on Mexican food near the Opry house. We headed to the Opry about 5:30. Everyone went to the gift shop while I picked up our tickets at the office.  I"m glad I had my order number on my phone as You had to have that to get your tickets. Name and ID not enough. The doors  opened at 6:15 and we went in. We had great seats on the main floor about 7 rows from the stage. All the perfomances were good but for me Jim Ed Brown won the night.  He is 79 years old and his voice is still smooth. He sang two of his standards and then one new song just out " In Style Again".  He got a standing ovation from the crowd. Riders in the Sky were my next favorites and then Chris Young. The show was over much too soon. It was our second time to go to the Opry and we will go back again sometime.
