- Last year, Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson was joined by fellow Grand Ole Opry members Jeannie Seely and Mark Wills, and E.W. “Bud” Wendell, former Opry manager and CEO of radio station WSM and Gaylord Entertainment, for a special Museum program. The group reminisced on fond memories and shared personal stories from their time on the historic radio show.
The program was presented in support of the 2022-2023 Museum exhibition "Bill Anderson: As Far as I Can See." Anderson is the longest tenured member in Grand Ole Opry history (sixty-two years as of 2023). - เพลง
I'm glad that they still have the Grand Ole Opry on. I've been listening to the Grand Ole Opry ever since I was a little girl. It's been a long time.
I love anytime they have a roundtable discussion like this with veteran performers learned so many things over the years from watching videos like this thank you for making it possible whisperin bill is up there for me one of the few stars of country from that era we still have..
Enjoyed the panel, great stories!
Absolutely awesome show
What a life as a country music entertainer. Trying to make a life in music, trying to feed family. What the old timers sacriced. Some made it, and some did not. Songs from the heart, songs about love and life, and home.
I also like the square dancers doing the dance. I have been to the Grand Ole Opry a lot of times.
Enjoy listening to you tell your story and love your music and your singing.God Bless you each and every day.Amen 🙏❤🌹
Thank you very much. That was just absolutely fabulous. I loved every bit of it. God bless.
Wonderful show. Seely and Anderson always add class to anything they do. I’ve watched as many Country Family Reunions as I can find. 👍
bill does, seely doesnt
Congratulations 🌹
This is a great video. So glad to hear these legends chat! Also, I had heard about performers leaving the Opry back in the day and never knew why, but they explained it here and now I understand!
Yes it is❤
Country Music is just not the same now.
I think most people outside of Nashville always thought of the Opry was a place where artists who weren't big enough to get steady road work were staples (i.e. Jeannie Seely, etc.). Artists who weren't big stars. That's why the big stars often left because they were too busy on the road and didn't have time to fit in Opry appearances.
I never thought of it like that. I've never watched a whole show I suppose, I just see clips, and plenty of times I've seen big stars performing there and took it that was normal. Never occurred to me that some might not actually get road work, I always took it they'd rush back from wherever they were, play the Opry and go back out. Pretty much like Bill and Jeanie said.
@@stewartfenton7660 It's not so much that way now, but in the '70s - '90s, very much the case. If you had one hit record back then, you'd be invited to join the Opry.
I used to hear Eddie Arnold do Make Your World Go Away on My Mom's Old Philco Radio that set in the kitchen where her Microwave is now.
This could have been the "last stand" of memories of REAL country music. I pray it
wasn't.......
Somebody in Grensboro North Carolina needs to listen to Ray Stevens they got arrested for streaking. Don't look Ethel.
