GRAND OLE OPRY NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE JUNE 9, 2001

To me and many others, The Grand Ole Opry is a very special place.  I can remember back to my very first trip to the Opry in 1979... I was so excited.  My seat was way in the back and I'd run down to the front to take my treasured photos.  Of course, when I got home they looked like ants but they were my Opry pictures.  I've been back many, many times since that first show, but nothing will be as special as this past June 9th when I got to see Dan perform on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night show.  Dan did "Still Reelin" and "Big Wheels In The Moonlight" for the first show and followed that on the second show with "Good Times" and "One Friend".  Hopefully through these photos and comments you'll get a feel for what it was like to be there.
