I remember Earl White playing on the Grand Ole Opry with the Opry Square Dancers, the night that I was on the Grand Ole Opry 23 April 2005. Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ

Played with immense feeling by all , but that fiddle grabs the heart right out of you.

This was actually not only to celebrate the birthday of Ernest Ferguson, but also was the Hawaiian Night that we have annually for our Country 101 meetings in Gallatin. That is why Kayton Roberts (steel player for Hank Snow for 31 years and moderator of this song) is wearing Hawaiian apparel. I am the man in the background you see walking back in forth delivering messages and doing some of the tech work. It was our first night here.
