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..

[@MaryVanatta]

Thank you very much. That was just absolutely fabulous. I loved every bit of it. God bless.

[@GlendaPayton-c1z]

I also like the square dancers doing the dance. I have been to the Grand Ole Opry a lot of times.

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.

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

Watching this on New Year's Eve 2024. The Nashville Show on TV is not worth watching. Happy New Year Y'all

[@ireneeickenhorst2326]

Absolutely awesome show

[@JayS03R]

Enjoyed the panel, great stories!

[@donnadimopulos9883]

Congratulations 🌹

[@veaglewatch1288]

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!

[@LorettaMikrut]

Enjoy listening to you tell your story and love your music and your singing.God Bless you each and every day.Amen 🙏❤🌹

I am a senior who's 70 plus and agree that getting to be on the OPRY Should be something that you have to work towards after you have been out there for awhile and had a few Records or CD'S. PLEASE HAVE THEM HAVE TO WORK HARD TO GET TO PLAY ON THE OPRY . THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WORK HARD TO GET TO PLAY ON THE OPRY AS A REWARD FOR A GREAT JOB THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. ❤

Country Music is just not the same now.

[@zackmax7184]

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.

[@clapolla]

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.

[@stewartfenton7660]

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.

[@clapolla]

@@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.

[@donnadimopulos9883]

Yes it is❤

[@bobblynes3926]

This could have been the "last stand" of memories of REAL country music. I pray it wasn't.......

[@zackmax7184]

Somebody in Grensboro North Carolina needs to listen to Ray Stevens they got arrested for streaking. Don't look Ethel.
