We always enjoy our time visiting with some of the greatest musicians ever discovered, it has been a great honor to hear the history of their lives, their songs and hear the miles of memories of these Grand Old Opry Stars and Legends, and even get to pic and sing with a few of them as well. In the studio it is always a pleasure to get a chance to visit with the talent traveling through and the local talent, that are generous enough to stop and spend their time with us and the listeners.
