Here we are starting a new year at The Woodbine Opry. We have a good program scheduled for Saturday night as we have Joe Muench and T.K.Hilton joining us. It is always a pleasure having these two men with us here at Woodbine.
The quote for the week: “We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.” Lee Iacocca
We had a good year here at The Woodbine Opry. For the most part, the crowds have been full-house or nearly full-house every Saturday night. Although the economy is suffering, we broke our record of giving away money on the 1/2 and 1/2 as we handed out $11,135.00. Appearing on stage this past year were 32 performers, some were first-time guests but many were familiar faces to the Opry. I am looking forward to another great year performing with the band and meeting new friends and greeting old ones.
This week’s trivia question: This radio announcer beamed his Road Show to truckers all across America from the studios of WWL in New Orleans. He passed away on November 24, 2011, Who was he?
I hope to see you all at The Woodbine Opry this Saturday night.

Ken, you’re a winner! I spent many a night listening to Charlie on the radio; what a great radio personality he was.

You know he was born and raised in Ludowici Ga Long County just south of Ft Stewart on US 84 And US 301 Dave Nemo took over his radio show and has moved it to XM
