<SMALL>Fisher has sent a letter to Opry membership saying profits are the best in years. How can this be...?</SMALL>
Welllllll...let's see...4,000 seats at about $30 a pop...3 shows a week...that's $360,000 a week...<u>plus</u> the advertising revenues (which are probably a lot more than that), plus all the typical "souvenir sales"...


Million a week, maybe?

I'd say they ain't hurtin' too much. Image
