NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Elvis has entered the Ryman!

The Ryman is unveiling a new exhibit commemorating 70 years since Presley’s one and only Grand Ole Opry performance at the Ryman in 1954.

I was reading up on the back story of this exhibit and thought y'all might enjoy hearing about this as you get ready for your day.

Did you know that Elvis was apparently very nervous to take the stage at the Opry and the crowd was less than impressed with is rendition of "Blue Moon of Kentucky."

In fact, Presley says the Opry Manager told Elvis to "Go back to Memphis and drive a truck." Of course, seeing Elvis' success, he's refuted those claims.

The new exhibit includes photos, artifacts... and recollections from friends. Tickets start at $35.

This friendly face has become a special part of Lebanon's morning commute

It's truly the small things that add up to a great day - and Warrick in Lebanon is having a big impact. His familiar face is becoming a staple in one part of the community and inspiring closer connection in the simplest way. Enjoy his warm personality! You may even feel inclined to wave to a stranger today, too.
