Just read Mr. Seymores letter about the [NOT SO GRAND OPRY] Maybe moving it to Texas,I LOVE Texas,why dump this Holly Weird fashion show on the GREAT state of Texas ? Why not set up shop in Hollywood WHERE IT BELONGS, The powers to be have been hellbent on destroying this great American institution for several years now,And the firing of Keith Bilbrey [the voice of the opry] How far in the gutter is that ? Wonder how long it will be before Broad way is gone,and Roberts,Tootsies,ET'S,etc,will be either law offices or a parking lot, DYKBC.

Why not set up shop in Hollywood WHERE IT BELONGS,

Whoa, we have standards, out here. Remember that famous quote, "Underneath all that fake tinsel, there is real tinsel..."

I had heard that rumor about a month ago, that the Texas investor had increased his holdings in Gaylord and that the Opry would move to Texas.

It might as well be gone considering how Gaylord has made a complete mess of everything. Doing away with Opryland park wiped out the biggest tourist draw to Nashville, other than the Opry and it's attendance has declined with the mismanagement of Gaylord Corp. They wanted to change the format of WSM a couple of years ago and do away with the "country music" (and with the releasing of Keith Bilbrey that may be something they are ultimately leaning towards again).

Some of the big name singers no longer record in Nashville and another blow. Alan Jackson in Miami, George Strait in Key West are two that I know of.

Very sad to read of his release. He deserves better than that!

Yes after more than 3 decades at WSM, Keith has been relieved of his job.
I have personally know Keith for more than 40 years,while he was still a DJ at the Lebanon radio station. I hate to hear that he has been fired, and will no listen to WSM much. You can go to Keith's web site and read more about it and there is a link to voice your oppenions, and email the WSM staff.
