Staycation - Day 9

A Night at the Opry

I would show you pictures, but they're pretty blurry.  We were in the nosebleed seats - there were only three rows of seats above ours.  Scary up there.

We saw:
John Conlee
Ray Scott
The Whites
Connie Smith
Mike Snider
Lauren Alaina
Larry Gatlin (it was his birthday today!!)
Bobby Osborne & The Rocky Top Express
Canaan Smith
and
Reba.

Reba sang a couple of songs off her new CD, and then some old favorites - Fancy, Is There Life Out There and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.  I hadn't heard that song in a long time.  It really is great.  Just in case I've convinced you to give it a listen.....

That song was written by Vicki Lawrence's husband.  Vicki actually recorded it, and it went to number one on the charts for her, and 20 years later Reba recorded it also.  It is a classic.

And, not surprisingly, she got a standing ovation at the end of the night.

Another great Opry show.
