The first time I listened to the Grand Ole Opry, it was on an old radio a lot like this one. That would have been back around 1946-48, on our farm in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. I listened to Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, The Fruit Jar Drinkers, Sam and Kirk McGee from Sunny Tennessee and others as I imagined the square dancers swirling around the Ryman stage never dreaming that one day I would stand on that same stage singing one of my recordings.

Music is best when enjoyed with friends so we have taken some of my old recordings from 1960-1980 and put them back on an old radio so we can go together, back in time, and pick and sing some. I can close my eyes and almost be back in those old recording studios, standing at the mike, surrounded by the finest musicians, background singers, sound engineers and songwriters the world will ever know. Many of them have passed now, but they live on in these recordings and I will always remember.
