    I have read the interview with Strait where he confirmed that he turned down the invite because the Opry requires so much time spent annually at the Opry. Between his dedication to his fans, and the dedication to his wife, he felt he didn't have the time to devote to the Opry.
    I believe the only this he ever spoke publicly concerning his daughter was when he won entertainer of the year that year, he dedicated it to her. Though yes, sources have confirmed Baby Blue was dedicated to his daughter.

      I’m so sorry that your daughter was killed in a car accident. George, remember, she can hear you and will be forever in your heart. My son Kevin lost his battle with liver cancer at the age of 23. The doctors said there was no cure and not anything they could do. No transplant nothing. His tumors were all over the connections to the rest of his body and he would die on the table. They couldn’t find what happened because he was too young to have caused it himself. The doctors saw an advertisement for a siminar there & went to China because they have the most patients of liver cancer. He was hoping to find a cure but no luck. With Liver cancer you go into a coma. He did that several times. And do you know that people who have cancer or any other affliction, can hear everything if they are in a coma? Once he was in a coma for 2 1/2 weeks. He woke up even though they said he was going to die. He told me who had come to see him, even his high school sweetheart. He still loved her and asked me if she really came! He even knew the music they played. Every weekend all of his friends came, would sit on the floor and just talk. It was really amazing. I had 4 boys and they were all close. After he died, my boys always say “love you mom.” Always. Kevin was my second boy. Then I had twins. So my oldest is 10 yrs. older than the twins. They are still close. I was born and raised in Texas. I grew up in San Antonio…I now live in Wisconsin in a senior apt. bldg. One of my twins lives here in Wisconsin with his family. I love seeing them more often. His girls are gold medal figure skaters! So fun to be there and see it happen. His twin lives in College Station Texas with his family. It wasn’t easy separating them.
      I love that it’s cooler here and I even love the snow and bitter cold!

  • @ACcountryFan
    @ACcountryFan 3 года назад +19

    The commentary alluded to it but there wasn't an absolute answer. The reason why some recording artists aren't members of the Grand Ole Opry is either A: They haven't been asked to become a member or B: The artist isn't able to make the necessary appearances that had long been in place. Once upon a time an Opry member had to appear at least 25 or 30 times a year, or more, and since the Opry radio show airs on Friday and Saturday nights that meant a lot of artists couldn't be out on the road, too far from Nashville, due to Opry commitments. George Strait, for example, lives in Texas...and if he's out on tour somewhere and he happened to be an Opry member he'd have to make sure his itinerary would be built in a way where he'd be near Nashville, TN by either a Friday or Saturday to make an Opry appearance. That means he wouldn't be able to do a concert in Florida or maybe somewhere in Texas or Oklahoma on a Saturday night...he'd have to be at the Opry which pays union scale. If you're doing show dates at some theater, county fair, or some arena you get performance fee's and you may get a percentage of the ticket sales. So it's more lucrative to be out on tour going from town to town, State to State than it is to appear frequently at the Opry. I think George Strait genuinely cares too much about the Opry to have wanted to be a member knowing he'd not be able to make the required number of appearances. Now, of course, the "rules" about appearance requirements have long since gone by the wayside but George is retired...so it wouldn't make much sense to ask him to be a member now.

      They have not enforced that commitment to appear for many years. That is NOT the reason any more. Clearly it is a personal thing. Even Miranda's husband Blake is a member while she declines. She does appear there from time to time however. I think the "Circle Network" thing is going to change all that. Now they need the exposure and they are all showing up.

    The fact is, being a member of the Opry requires you to be in Nashville every weekend, so it's great for entertainers who don't want to tour too much or don't make a lot touring (usually rising stars or stars past their prime). People like Strait, Garth Brooks, and Hank Williams Jr. can sell out shows consistently, so it doesn't make any sense to give up doing a 12 week run around the country, and make more than you can in a year being on the Opry. And record companies want you to appear on the show to promote the new album, but they want you doing a tour so they can sell records in Sheboygan, Wallawalla, and Cucamonga. You want to do those tours because, while you won't see a dime from record sales, you get every penny of those sweet merch sales.

    I didn't miss any of the questions. I have loved George Strait from when he first came out country. I still do. He stayed with his roots until his leaving the big scrne. I loved his song "I Cross My Heart." I miss him.

    George isn't an Opry member for the same reason Webb Pierce left back in the 1950s: Once a member, you are required to perform several dates a year on the Opry's stage, and do it for union musician pay rate. Webb missed several Opry dates back in the 1950s because of schedule conflicts, so they "fired" him, and told him he could appeal after a year. He never did. Years later in an interview, he was asked about it. He said: "Why would I want to do a show for $30 when I can do one for $2k? {1950s show money}. Members do it today out of a sense of loyalty, since many got their first really big exposure from being a guest on the Opry. It has launched many careers.

    I've always heard that George turned them down because he is a "Texan to the bone," and that's where he likes to spend most all of his time when he's not doing anything music related. Therefore, he is unable to properly commit to the Opry if he were to become a member.

    When I came to America, I never heard of country music. My American husband introduced me to George Jones. I fell in love with C/W music right away. George Jones always was my favorite. George Strait was my second best favorite. My playlist is full of George Strait songs. He has the sexiest smile and to me he is the best looking man I've ever seen. G. Jones to me was the best C/W singer artist. Now it's George Strait. MY heart raises when I watch him preform. Makes my blood pressure shoot up. To me he is the sexiest man alive, besides Engelberg Humperdink. Even in his old age, he is still one hell of a sexy looking man. But no one can beat George Strait. At 70, he is still a hunk.

Mark said he’d never forgive him for that slight. Garth Brooks will never be a class act like George Strait, his awe shucks good ole boy act is just that, an act. He cheated on Sandi with that heifer Yearwood too. I threw all of his crap in the trash long ago.
