Brad Paisley & Jimmy Dickens return the Circle of Wood to the Opry Stage

The historic circle of wood is returned to its home at the Grand Ole Opry House by Opry members Brad Paisley & Little Jimmy Dickens on August 25. The circle was rescued and refurbished after the flood of spring 2010 left the Opry stage under four feet of water. The Opry House will reopen on September 28 with an all-star lineup.

Very nice video. I often wonder though if the Opry will make it to 100 . . . seems that the powers that be are trying hard to kill it. Too many Taylor Swifts and FAR, FAR TOO FEW Jimmy Dickens. Let's get back to our roots. There's a ton of amateur, unknown, REAL country singers out there . . . give them their chance on the greatest stage of all. That's how the legend began.

You can tell Brad is really at awe of all things country! He is the real deal!

The question on everyone's mind is will the circle still be unbroken?

LOL

Having gone through the Nashville flood and living just a few miles from the Opera House this made me tear up. To see what it was like during and after the flood and that devastation then to see this. Wow.

@pikindboogies You are so right !! I am so tired of people with so little talent(Taylor Swift) being shoved on the folks out here. I am fortunate to live in an area with stellar musicians everywhere.The trouble is,they don't always look the part,Sad!!

@MrBig: Don't you worry darlin' - there is an army of folks who appreciate how important this was.....seeing the Ryman was my priority the first time I ever was in Nashville about 15 years ago. Havin' listened to the Opry broadcasts from the early 70's on AM (only way to get them in MD at the time like NASCAR), I could just about see the ghosts of those I'd grew up on. When the floods came, I was heartbroken - this was ever so important simply for the footsteps that crossed it.

Those of you who don't know much about country music or the Grand Ole Opry have no idea what this means to us in Nashville.
