The Mother Church of Country Music


We began our evening with a quick dinner at the Commerce Street Grille.




Grilled Steak Wrap with Onion Rings and ColeSlaw



Grilled Turkey Burger with Sweet Potato Fries



Following dinner, we spent a wonderful evening with new friends and family at the Thursday night showing of the Opry Country Classics in the Ryman Auditorium.





The line-up was filled with new and old performers sharing their fond memories of the Grand Ole Opry.






Larry Gatlin working the crowd; his dance partner was from Chicago and this was her first time to The Ryman.





James Wesley, an artist singing as long as my history with Keith, sang Folsom Prison Blues- which stirred the soul of my adorable (Johnny Cash lovin') husband.





Larry Gatlin (master of ceremonies) and the Gatlin Brothers were on stage to share some fun memories.





Ronnie Robbins (son of Marty Robbins) shared the song El Paso, and captured the crowd with this extra long, cowboy song!





Topping it all was seeing Crystal Gayle, who if you didn't know is Ms Loretta Lynn's sister, sing Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.



All in all, our evening at the Ryman was fabulous! Could not have asked for a more perfect evening.
