After what I would call a surprisingly good show last week, the Grand Ole Opry rolls into week #21 of their non-audience Saturday night shows. And it is going to be a good one, you can just feel it.
Grand Ole Opry member Vince Gill, who seems to be on his way to making himself a regular on these shows, is set to appear once again, this time joined by a couple of his very good friends: Opry member Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell.
This is the type of show I would expect all three artists to be on stage at the same time, sharing stories and songs. It should be a lot of fun.

Fiddler Wade Ray had two solo spots on the Opry that night.
Wade Ray made his name playing traditional country and Western swing from a very young age but made very few recordings of his own over his lengthy career.
Lyman Wade Ray was born in Evansville, Indiana in 1913. He grew up in Arkansas and at age four began playing a homemade fiddle his father fashioned from a cigar box. Just a year later, he was touring the vaudeville circuit as the World's Youngest Violin Player. At the age of 18, he moved to St. Louis and spent the next 12 years as the fiddler, singer, and musical director for Pappy Cheshire's Western swing group, the National Champion Hillbillies, until he was called to serve in the Army in 1943.
Upon his return, he joined Patsy Montana's group the Prairie Ramblers for several years, also recording with the Ozark Mountain Boys. He moved to Los Angeles in 1949, where he became a regular on The Rex Allen Show. He signed with RCA and released a total of 23 singles from 1951 to 1957, none of which charted ("Idaho Red" is perhaps the best known). He also appeared regularly on The Roy Rogers Show and The Ernest Tubb Show.
He moved to Nashville and did session work in the mid-'60s and also recorded his first solo album, A Ray of Country Sun, for ABC-Paramount in 1966. RCA Camden released Walk Softly (And Other Country Songs) later that year, and in 1967 Ray collaborated with the likes of Homer & Jethro, Sonny Osborne, and Hargus "Pig" Robbins on Down Yonder: The Country Fiddlers.
He continued his session work until 1979, when he retired to Sparta, IL, and performed with a local radio station's road show until health problems made it impossible. He passed away on November 11, 1998.

Finally, on Saturday July 31, 1976, Don Williams made his first Saturday night appearance as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Don, actually joined the cast on April 23, 1976, which was a Friday night. It took him another 3 months before his next appearance. Don didn't say around too long, with his final show as a member taking place in August 1981, a little over 5 years after joining the cast. It really didn't take long for Don to realize that Opry membership just wasn't for him.
