    “The Grand Ole Opry” is a Country music radio show that airs on Friday and Saturday nights on 650 WSM Nashville, Tennessee. The radio show has been continuously broadcast for almost a century. For a number of years, the radio show was broadcast nationally on NBC Radio. In 1927, when the program was first aired for the first time on NBC Radio, the first musical guest was African-American Blues harmonica player DeFord Bailey. Years later, in the late-1960s, Bailey returned to perform for their televised anniversary show. His performance is available for viewing here on RUclips.

    The Grand Ole Opry is a long-running live country radio show originally aired from the Ryman Auditorium and now airs from Opryland. Most of the performers on the show are known as "Members" of the Opry and you can only become a member upon invitation of a current member. The Opry's membership acts as a kind of living Hall of Fame with both living legends and current artists regularly performing on the show.

    • @brianfarr9337
      @brianfarr9337 Год назад +2

      Almost. They never broadcasted from the Opryland theme park, but instead build a huge freestanding building near the park. That location is still used by the Opry to this day, even 30 years after the park shuttered. The park was eventually leveled and they built a huge mall there called Opry Mills. Of course, the Opryland hotel is still near there and in use.

      Opry members are required to perform on the broadcast an a regular basis. This is why George Strait isn't a member. He lives on his Texas ranch and has no desire to be in Nashville that often!

    The Grand Ole Opry is a live radio show on WSM in Nashville Tennessee that began broadcasting in 1925. It had a very strong signal you could pick it up from several states over, thanks to NBC. Most of the country stars had a gospel/folk upbringing in the mountains and southern states and Bluegrass music came from there. It was the dream of Country/Western singers to get on the Grand Ole Opry to be heard, long before there were videos or television. It was hard to get on it if you didn't already have a record deal. And they had high standards and expected you to never miss an advertised performance. Which Hank Williams Sr missed performances and got fired. The Outlaw movement started when frustrated singers didn't fit into their mold, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and many others went to Austin Texas to perform on Austin City Limits which was broadcasts on PBS TV stations. A lot of folk singers got a boost from going to Austin.

    Sir Jay and Lady Amber, Some singers just have/ had a passion for a song, Skeeter (born Mary Frances Penick 12/30/1931-9/199/2004) put her heart into this Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee song (1962). It was also sung by Brenda Lee, (1963) the Carpenters (1973) .

    I am very into Prog and Metal, but End of the World is imo one of the most beautiful songs ever written! It is difficult to not shed a tear while listening to it or even singing it.
    Compliments to you two! I am very much into all kind of music, also actively. I got so hooked on your reactions for weeks (and I know nearly all the songs you covered but to see and hear you reacting on and discussing them opens up a whole new world to me), that I really got addicted and even for the first time in my life (probably not the last) I have to drop a comment on youtube. And Amber: I never met someone who gets the meaning of a song - even an instrumental (hey as a deep deep Flyodian since 40 years it took me years to find out the true meaning behind The Great Gig in the Sky!) - so quickly.
    And btw - your reaction on prog and art bands like Supertramp, Pink Floyd, ELO, Styx, Yes... are showing that you really like this genre without even knowing much about it at the beginning. Please try some Marillion (Script for a Jester's Tear or White Russians with Fish, or Neverland or Berlin with h), Crusader , the Revolution Trilogy, or Spansish Train by Chris de Burgh (no, Lady in Red is NOT typical for him!), Uriah Heep (July Morning is a MUST, Gypsy, Pilgrim, Magician's Birthday, Tales...) - and especially dive deeper into the Pink Floyd catalogue with early psychedelic Barrett songs like Astronomy Domine, or the post Barrett songs like the Nile Song (that is Pink Floyd!?! :D), Saucerful of Secrets, and especially - please please, even if it is 25 minutes: ECHOES! Probably the greatest piece of music composed since the Beatles :)
    And I think you didn't do any Tom Waits yet... he is a real rabbit hole you would love. And just for you: listen to Kate Bush's whole 9th Wave or A Sky of Honey suites!
    Thanks and get the great job going on!
    Cheers from Zurich, Switzerland

    PBS aired a great documentary about country music by Ken Burns. The Grand Ole Opry featured prominently. There was a country music program called "Hay Barn Dance" that aired on the radio following the "Music Appreciation Hour," which consisted mainly of opera selections. The host of the program joked that the opera was done and that going forward they would be airing a "Grand Ole Opry" instead as a way of poking fun at the show that led into his. Someone like the name enough that the radio station added another show to their lineup with it. As more and more people attended the show live, the studio became too small to accommodate them, they built a venue dedicated to the show.
    In the mid '50s they aired it on television once a month for a year, and they had another live television special in 1978. It's been airing weekly on television since 1985. The show has launched and/or featured many prominent stars, like Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, and Johnny Cash.

    I have an old cassette tape of my sister singing this song. She used to sing country music in talent contests and would win every week. She was supposed to start singing professionally at this one Country Club that Marty Robbins had sung at, but had a seizure. So that ruined her career real quick. She had seizures pretty often. She mostly sounded like Patsy Cline. I lost her a couple years ago to COPD. R.I.P. Charlene 😇.

    #2 in early 1963, it was always playing on the radio at that time (JFK's assassination would happen later that year). As a young kid, it obviously struck me as a sad song, but I was also struck by end of the world science-fiction (apocalyptic) movies of the time, which I attached this song to. Special and Great Memories. :)

    1 of those misheard lyrics for me when I was 9-10 year old. We did not know the lyrics at all but when this song got played in the music class we'll all be shouting the chorus, "Volcano!! It's the the end of the world!!" 😄

  • @plother4242
    @plother4242 Год назад

    Great reaction as usual. You two are always so thoughtful with your comments to try to get what the song means. You have done reactions to the Carpenters before. If you watch the movie called the Karen Carpenter story this is the song she sings at the beginning of the movie when she is just a very young teenager. A very good movie to watch to learn about her life and the struggles with her eating disorder that killed her at such a young age. Thank you.

If you wanna listen to them, just type Last Date and My Last Date (with You) on RUclips. The video should show up.

    Female Friday coming up this week. Possible new artists: CHI COLTRANE (from the 70's, she plays a killer piano with a killer voice) -- "Thunder & Lightning" and "Turn Me Around" TONI BRAXTON (awesome, powerful voice) -- "Another Sad Love Song" from early 90's and for some late 60's early 70's British folk-rock with gorgeous voice = SANDY DENNY - "Who Knows Where The time Goes?" (She did solo work and lead singer for a few albums with Fairport Convention. The 3 albums she did with Fairport Convention along with Richard Thompson are often considered the "Heyday" period of the band. Also check out her on lead vocals with Fairport with songs "Matty Groves" and "Tam Lin" Richard Thompson composed some unique instrumental arrangements and with Sandy singing these songs are incredible :) She tragically died at age 31 in 1978.

    Back to the 60s we go! (1962, to be exact.) Skeeter Davis (Real name: Mary Francis Penick) was a big name country star back in the 60s. This was her first MAJOR crossover hit. "I Can't Stay Mad At You" was another. She never had a #1 hit, but this song hit #2 on both the pop and country charts. She had a great career, and was one of Dolly Parton's biggest influences.

      Skeeter Davis was so sweet singing this sad song! We all loved it and sang it together laughingly!

    Produced in Nashville by Chet Atkins, this was intended to be a Country record (hear the steel guitar) but it crossed over and became a huge Pop hit as well.

    For any 'Baby Boomer' Generation folks, like myself, I think ALL of us are familiar with this song, and Remember & Love It! Easy to sing along to. :) Thx for Reacting to it Guys! PS- Cute to see little Luca trying to flash a smile with His pacifier! :)

      I am a 2001 and I play a game called “Fallout 4” and there is a radio station called “Diamond City Radio” and that is where I heard this song. Let me tell ya it hits completely different because on the game it is literally the end of the world. I fell in love with this song when I heard.

    Her actual name was Mary Francis. She picked up the nickname Skeeter as a young girl from her grandfather who said she was always buzzing around the house like a "skeeter" (mosquito).

    I'm 66 years old now, and this has been one of my all time favorite songs since it was on the radio. I fell in love with her voice when I was just a little boy.

    I met Skeeter back in the early 80's, My Mom was friends with her. She was such a sweet, humble lady. Mom was heartbroken when she passed. She was a soft spoken lady. RIP

    This song was released about six weeks after the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, where they were actual fears that it was the end of the world.

      I was a kid living at Key West then and we really didn't know how close we were to war.
      All I really knew was the military set up missiles on the beach a block from our house and put rolls and rolls of barbed wire up and down the beach.
