The first day in Nashville included a trip to the Grand Ole Opry. The Opry is the longest running live radio show in the US - it started in 1925. We started with a backstage pass and then went to the evening show. The Opry started in the Ryman Theater which is called the mother church of country music but needed a larger venue so it moved to the Grand Ole Opry in the 70's.

There was a display backstage highlighting the tv show, Nashville, which does filming in the big backstage auditorium. We also saw the 12 dressing rooms and family room which the artists use while waiting to go on stage.
We got to stand on the circle which is a round of wood from the original stage at the Ryman Theater. This is a spot that is very important in the country music world because it has so much history..
