Well, gee whilickers, I had no idea Mel Bay had a Vol. 11 of country acronyms. Rest assured I shall scamper to my local music store and procure a copy before night fall. Thanks for the heads up.

There can be no doubt.Deford bailey was Fired making him the ist on the list before Hank Sr.Wasn't Faron also at one time dismissed? I know it was a lot of years before he was back on. Faron had the right attitude for what's happening now. In his own word's $#@% em all.

I don't know what a "featured performer" is.
But DeFord Bailey was one of the cast of the Opry for more than a decade. It was following DeFord's performance of "Pan American Blues" that Judge Hay made his historic first "Grand Ole Opry" announcement in 1927.
Every good Canadian knows that. *lmao*
