| | Through the Opry, WSM had created a musical family that has in turn made Nashville "Music City, U.S.A." The advent of Opryland in 1972 marked a period of explosive growth, which has accelerated since 1983 when Opryland was acquired by Edward Gaylord. | | | From its inception, the Grand Ole Opry has continued to introduce new talents, many to become mega-stars in the country music pantheon. | | | Hay became its announcer, launching the program as "The WSM Barn Dance." Two years later, Hay renamed it "The Grand Ole Opry." Hay's first commandment was: "Keep her down to earth, boys!" It came to be the goal of every folk musician, and later every country and western musician, to perform on the Opry. |
