Ask anyone about popular attractions in Nashville, and it's a certainty the Grand Ole Opry will appear in the Top Ten list of must-sees, most likely in the first position. Based in Nashville for over eight decades, the Opry refers not only to the iconic barn-like structure that has served as stage to the biggest names in music, but to the name of the actual show that has been syndicated on radio and online streams and made available to listeners around the world. Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the Opry for the best in country, bluegrass, folk and gospel music, and when you plan your visit to Music City you definitely need to check their show schedule for tickets.
Now, if you're not keen to Opry trivia, here are some little known facts to remember when you are in town. You can astound your family with your knowledge-they'll think you're a true Opry expert! Did you know...
One of the most popular entertainers of all time was not a member! You might hear of certain singers noted as "members" of the Grand Ole Opry-this is because musicians are asked to "join" and perform regularly as part of country music's elite. Think of a popular country star, and he/she is likely a member. However, one who stands out as a non-member is none other than Elvis Presley. Though is known for his rock standards, this Mississippi native did enjoy much success on the country charts and recorded often in Nashville. One might think he was an Opry regular, but in truth he played the barn only once, to disappointing results.
The broken color barrier. If someone were to ask who was the first African American to play the Opry and you say Charley Pride, you're wrong! It's true that Pride is a current member of the Opry, but the first African American to perform on the show was DeFord Bailey back in 1927. A gifted harmonica and banjo player, Bailey appeared on the radio program throughout the 1930s.
Phantom of the Opry? Rumors of ghostly activity in Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Opry, have floated around Nashville for years. While it's not the permanent home of the Opry now, the show is performed there periodically, and some have said the spirit of Captain Ryman, for whom the building is name, haunts the structure. Others have talked of an "Opry curse" that plagued members throughout the sixties and seventies. Reports of accidental deaths and tragedies, such as Patsy Cline's fatal car crash and Hank Williams, Jr.'s fall from a mountainside, have been attributed to this curse. Skeptics, however, chalk everything up to coincidence and the greater risks taken with celebrity.
To enjoy an evening of quality country and folk music, consult the Opry's official website for a calendar of events and to purchase tickets.
