Grand Ol’ Opry Broadcasts 5,000th Saturday Show

The Grand Ole Opry’s broadcast of its 5,000th Saturday show attracted a host of big country music stars to its historic venue. Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Darius Rucker, Vince Gill, Chris Young and a half-dozen others lined up to celebrate the nearly century-old country music program. The radio broadcast was carried by WSM radio. It’s the same station that it debuted on as the “Barn Dance” program in 1925. Brooks and Yearwood closed the show with a set of several songs before Brooks ended with his country classic “Friends in Low Places.”
