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.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
