Tennessee got its motto Volunteer State, from the fact that the state provided the most volunteers for the War of 1812 and the Mexican War.
We arrived in TN on the 17th of Oct. and the first place we went was The Grand Ole Opry. I didn't know it is the country's oldest running live radio show. They haven't missed a radio program since 1925. The radio announcer stood to the side and every ten or fifteen minutes he had to read a commercial. The sponsers were Dollar General, Humana, Bass Pro Shops and Cracker Barrel.
I expected the theater to be more glamourous then it was, but it was nice anyway. The show was in four 1/2 hour sections with each having a host. The only performers I knew where Rider's in The Sky and Vince Gill. We enjoyed all of them.
