My son and his family just arrived in Nashville... they'll visit the Grand Ole' Opry later today or perhaps tomorrow.
I've been to Nashville... I think 3 times. Never been in the Grand Ole' Opry.... the first time I was in Nashville was in 1969, on a cross country auto trip to catch a plane in NY to go to Europe.
We drove "by" the Grand Ole' Opry but did not go in.... we had gotten 'lucky' meeting up with some ladies, (girls, I was young), from Nashville and the Grand Ole' Opry dropped in priority.
I would love to visit the Grand Ole' Opry. In fact, i would choose the GOO over Carnegie Hall....and most other famous music halls with perhaps one exception.... Red Rock in Colorado!
I've never actually 'visited' Nashville, I merely passed thru, but one day I'd like to visit... .not sure why, maybe I just like the name?
