The 94-year-old country music radio program announced it would broadcast for the next four weeks without a live audience, due to mounting concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
On Saturday, for the 4,915th consecutive time, the world-famous Grand Ole Opry show went on as scheduled — but not as they’d planned.
“Let me tell you, every time I walk out on this stage to perform, I’m not just performing to those in the building with us. I’m talking and singing to every one of you I know are listening out there, all around the world. And we appreciate you so much.” “What everyone needs now is anything that seems normal, that they're used to,” said Dan Rogers, the Opry’s vice president and executive producer. “So for all the people who have a Saturday night tradition of tuning into the Grand Ole Opry, I am delighted that that's continuing, and I'm honored to be a part of making sure it doesn't end.”While Rogers says it was never in doubt that the show would go on this weekend, there were many logistical and safety concerns to deal with.
Security guard Jim Schermerhorn has seen Opry guests fraternize backstage for 26 years. He said it was “1/100th” of what it typically felt like on a Saturday night.It certainly was that way for Sam Williams. Saturday’s show was just the second Opry appearance for the grandson of country legend Hank Williams.Performers didn’t shy away from downbeat material, either. Connie Smith opened the night with the heartbroken Marty Robbins hit “Ribbon of Darkness.
Ryman Hospitality also owns Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, which has postponed all nighttime events through April 4, but continues to hold daily tours. The company’s chain of Blake Shelton's “Ole Red” restaurants will remain open.
