Trilogy Health Services met in Nashville, TN for our annual Spring Meeting this week. I'm so fortunate to work for the Best healthcare company in the Midwest - and the Best Place to work in KY!!! http://bestplacestoworkky.com/downloads/NewsRelease-BPWK08Rankings-MEDIA.pdf . During our trip - we walked Broadway and visited several of the local "Honky Tonks" . We walked past the Ryman Auditorium ... the orginal home of the Grand Ole Opry - and we saw Gibson guitars, CMT, Coyote Ugly, Tootsie's and many other legedary Nashville locations. We also went to the Friday night show at The Grand Ole Opry. It was a thrilling experience to witness an American icon - and to be entertained by legends and new artists making thier Opry debut. Tonight's Friday Five - feature five of the artists that I saw singing tonight at the Grand Ole Opry!
1. Little Jimmy Dickens - http://www.opry.com/MeetTheOpry/Members.aspx?id=66 87 year old Little Jimmy Dickens took the stage - decked in his sparkling country duds - his 4'11" frame took the stage telling jokes and singing a few of his hits.
2. The Whites - http://www.opry.com/MeetTheOpry/Members.aspx?id=657 The sisters that recorded the soundtrack for "Oh Brother Where Art Though" - The harmony between the sisters is captivating.
3. Bill Anderson - http://www.opry.com/MeetTheOpry/Members.aspx?id=57 Another Legend... so exciting to see him sing!
4. Diamond Rio - http://www.opry.com/MeetTheOpry/Members.aspx?id=652 One of my favorite country groups - Diamond Rio was celebrating their 10th Anniversary as members of the Opry. They sang "Meet in the Middle" and "One More Day" = the highlight for me!
5. The Avett Brothers - http://www.theavettbrothers.com/site.php The debut of the evening...and a wonderful fresh, new country group. It was an interesting and fresh take on contry music.... sort of a 'Barenaked Ladies' approach to country music. If you haven't heard them....I encourage you to listen to them - it is a GREAT sound! One of the songs was "Shame" I loved it! It's now on my iPod!!! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=217771714
