Ola Belle eh? "High On a Mountain". Bet your booties I like her.

Thanks for the info on The Opry singers Shug. That is EXACTLY the kind of stuff that fascinates me.

I once had a chance to stand on that little circle in the middle of the old Opry stage at the Ryman. It was an epiphany for me, just thinking of the folks who played there. I was picturing Hank's first time...and the other Hank (Snow) as well. The night when Bill Monroe came out there with Earl Scruggs in the band and the crowd went wild. The first night that Charlie pride sang, as an official member. Uncle Dave, The McGee Bros. etc. Too much!
