Listening To The Grand Ole Opry

Last night Tim, George, Lisa and I took a step back in time.  I made dinner for all us and then we all sat in the living room and listened to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.  Okay we didn't use a radio instead I streamed it through my phone that was then connected by Bluetooth to our sound bar but we still sat and listened to the show.  When a performer started to sing or talk we all remembered what they looked like but then we would wonder what they looked like now or how old they were so Lisa, using her phone, and I, using my iPad, would Google the information then bring up the performers current picture and birthday.  We would then use iTunes, or the equivalent on an Android phone, to bring up some of their popular songs sometimes just to know who they were.
The Opry format was different from the one we attended and the main performers during their segments would bring other singers or groups in.  For instance, Ricky Scaggs, who is the reason I like country music, had The Whites perform.  John Conlee had Rodney Atkins and Ralph Stanley with him.  This is the way the show went the rest of the evening.  We listened to the whole show and we enjoyed it.  Bill Anderson sang and so did Roy Clark.  Vince Gill and the Oak Ridge Boys ended the show.  This was the show we almost went back to Nashville for but instead made an evening of it by stepping back in time and listening to it one the radio; sort of!
