Back from a few days in Nashville visiting with family. Saw Emmylou Harris at the Grand Ole Opry. The Opry is back at the Ryman Auditorium, it's home from 1943-74. The auditorium holds about 2,000 people. The seats are oak benches that date to the late 1800's when the auditorium served as a church. Our seats were located in the balcony, to the right of the stage. Although we couldn't see the entire stage, we could check out the backstage action during the performances. Since the show is a radio show, it's much more informal than a concert. Stagehands appear frequently to change mics and to rearrange equipment. Performers are limited to a maximum of two songs, including Emmylou. It was a treat to hear her sing Lennon's Imagine.
