Friday Evening, August 25

The purpose of this trip was to visit our grandson Hezekiah who lives near Ashland City, Tennessee.

After getting to our motel, we stopped in at his place to take him to the Opry – his 2017 birthday gift.

We bought food at the Opry so we could eat while waiting for the show to start.

I took this picture with my cell phone – to send to Heze’s parents.

John Conlee opened the show.

Glen Cambell’s daughter Ashely (second from left) asked her dad’s sisters to join her on stage (two ladies on right).

Mike Snider (on the stage – left – and on the stage monitor – top center). Funny.

The Whites. Buck (the dad) is pictured on the monitor. Good gospel music.

Sharon White (Ricky Skaggs wife)

Mark Lowry – the reason we chose the Friday night opry. He is known for co-writing “Mary Did You Know” and for being part of the Gaither Vocal Band.

It was the first time I heard his newest song, “What’s Not to Love.”

You can click on the song at this link and listen to it:

Rocky Top by Bobby Osborne and The Rocky Top X-Press. Hearing them in person was a special treat to Cerwin.

Turnpike Trubadours. I enjoyed them.

A reminder that this was being aired live.

Riders in The Sky. Love their humor and cowboy sound.

Sunny Sweeney. Great singers.

Thompson Square. I enjoyed their harmony.

It was delightful to spend this evening with Hezekiah.
