Bradley Family 4: Day 2

We were up early and headed to the Grand Ole Opry for a back stage tour.

One of the first things we saw was the special entrance that the stars come through that are there to perform. This was a gift that was given to the opry by Minnie Pearl's family after she passed away.

Next we saw studio A where Hee-Haw was filmed. Parts of the TV show Nashville is also filmed here.

Next we saw the "wall of fame" that lists everyone who is a member of the Grand Ole Opry. There are also mailboxes where the stars can receive fan mail.

This is hard to read but there is some amazing talent in this order of stars... Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson... man they made some great music...

The stars really do get fan mail here!!!

Up next were their dressing rooms. They were awesome!!

Here are just a few of our favorites...

Notice that the pictures make a smile.... this room is for the "funny" guys or gals.

This room is used very often by Trace Atkins and those part of the Wounded Warriors program.

When a performer is at the Opry to be officially inducted, there is a special room for them to stay in. Apparently the door to the room was closed, cause this is all I got....

You know.... just hanging in the green room waiting to go on stage!!

Carson didn't want to stand here becasue of the sign... but it is actually referring to the bench you can't see behind them.

Here it is!!!! The famous circle and microphone used by so many amazing singers who perform on the sage.... including David's dad... It was cut from the floor at the Ryman Auditorium where the Opry used to be performed.
