June 27, 2009 Grand Ole Opry

Wynonna Judd She put on a good show. All was good and I hope that I have attached the correct names to the stars. Back in the day...I could have named the Grand Ole Opry stars by the introduction of their music didn't need to see a picture. I guess that is a sign of something. Mabe getting older.
