@waynescountry Ah, cheer up, little buck. You'll find a job then you can buy all the Canadian tobacco your happy lungs can handle.

Yes, PolkaDotz247, the body is in the casket and that is placed in the wall. A name plate is attached to the outside of the wall to identify the person behind the wall.

Nice job. Your Orbison information is a little off, however. Grady Orbison was Roy's younger brother. He died in a car accident on Caudill Drive in Hendersonville while on his way to visit his brother. Roy's son Wesley did survive the fire in 1968 and lives in Texas. Your statement that Roy is buried in LA is correct. Roy lies in an unmarked grave about 10 yards from that of Frank Zappa.

I read about the three children in the fire and merely assumed that third grave was the other son although the dating on the grave threw me off a bit. Thank you for the correction and I also did not know that Roy Orbison was just ten yards from Frank Zappa. Wow, that is interesting.

Thank you... I found this very interesting on many levels. My dad was a country fan and Marty Robbins was his favourite. I love the irony of someone called Paycheck, not having a paycheck to pay for his funeral. Some extraordinary people who led extraordinary lives. Great videos...

I've been kind of surprised at how modest have been their graves. They're nice but none of them really went for "Wow!" BTW, I just found out that Bill Monroe is buried in Kentucky and what I found was just a Bill Monroe tribute monument but his son may possibly be buried there when he dies.

Hi bud

Many thanks for both your Nashville grave site tours. I made it my mission last year to do just that and so it was enjoyable to be able to watch your clips and commentary. I'd missed some you covered and vice-versa, well done.

The manager of the Lawnhill Cemetary gave me and my lady a guided tour in his stretched white Cadillac, all the staff were fantasic and so hospitable to us. I got a real kick out of being so close to so many Country legends.

Cheers mate

Anyone that doesn't know who Dottie Rambo is has no business trying to do what this ding dong is doing !!!

[danamanasco]

how can you not know who dottie rambo is? she is quite possibly the most annointed writer in southern gospel music. my lord man just open a hymnal

[MrStickhorse]

Grady Lee Orbison was Roy Orbison's older brother who died in a car crash. Roy Orbison's son, Wesley who was 3 at the time, was the one saved by Roy's parents in the house fire.
