I can't get it either. I have Directv, but the wrong package.

Hey Smiley,

Great news, I'm proud for ya. It has been 20+ years since I worked the Opry and it is something I hope to get another chance to do. Sometimes we see alot of Opry bashing on this forum (sometimes for very good reason), but it's still the Opry, and to some of us old guys who spent many nights there, that still means alot. I'll be playin' Saturday night, but I will certainly watch the reruns. Have fun, I wish I could be there with you.

See ya soon,
Jim

Smiley- I noticed Chuck Campbell claims to be your "partner"- my question is, do you still have standing mail box?

Smiley - that's great - just remember the difference between G and C - Ha! Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with you this week in Nashville. Had to head back home early but I would have loved to see you at this show.

Well, if that don’t beat all! Besides turning the radio ON too late to catch the beginning of the 8 o'clock portion and it not being Televised, which I can’t see eitherp; for some reason or other the Opry wasn't even aired on WSM after 9 pm.! So, I didn’t/couldn’thear the 2nd. show either! What the heck is going on anyway? _ _ _ _ Smiley; You didn’t Jinx-The-Works, did you? I’m thoroughly disgusted with the whole deal and also disappointed! I hope the E.T.R.S. doesn’t crap-out too!

Was it foresite or just stupidity on my part? The E.T.R.S. did end early at 12:45 am, but; Smiley was introduced as the ‘Newest Drifting Cowboy’! Maybe I should recheck all my clocks! I must be missing something, somewhere!

Hey Smiley...I know the Opry wasnt Telivised but I hope the Jamboree went to air on radio...Big John says you were introed as the newest drifting cowboy...which is an honour....and I hope you wore the hat that Lyn and I gave to you so that every one could listen to it on the radio
See Ya

Last night, Russ and I rang in the New Year sipping sparkling white grape juice and listening to "our own" Smiley on the Midnight Jamboree! As a new "Drifting Cowboy", you did Uncle Don proud, Smiley...
and, there was a double benefit to your "working" last night- I worried less about our daughter being on the roads knowing exactly where YOU were!!!

You know we love ya!

Smiley,

I was playing a New Years Eve party Sat night and enjoyed listening to you on the way home. When I got home, I sat in the car and listened to the last few minutes of the show. It was a great way to start my new year. You sounded great as I knew you would.

See ya soon,
Jim
