Stonewall Jackson Settles His Lawsuit With Grand Ole Opry



I have written a blog post, as a follow up to my well received
`Growing Old At the Opry" story which detailed my views of the
classic country music singers that still have a passion for the music
that made the Opry so successful.



Stonewall Jackson has settled his lawsuit, and the story and my thoughts
can be found here. Please read and let my readers know how you feel.
Your thoughts will be read by many, so please let everyone know how much
we love Stonewall and the Opry.

When I first ran this story one person, Tommy Tucker from Idaho wrote
what sums my thoughts then, and still today.

What's happening to the great stars of the Grand Ole Opry is a
travesty. I'm a DJ (in my 60's) on a classic radio station in
Lewiston, Idaho. In the past couple of years I have had the great
pleasure to meet some these performers at the Casino in Worley, Idaho.
Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Jean Sheppard, Stonewall Jackson,
Kitty Wells, Johnny Wright, Bobby Wright, Tommy Cash, Doug Kershaw and
Ralph Emery. Let me tell you, these are the friendliest, most talented
and down to earth people you would ever want to meet. These people
paved the way for the "so called" country entertainers of today.
To be given crumbs by the Opry when they should be in the forefront
until those new country entertainers earn their way on that stage is an
absolute slap in the face!
