“I am thrilled to be a part of the Nashville Music Garden. There are plenty of eye-sores in the world. Thank goodness for people who fight back with flowers. God bless ‘em!” says Pam Tillis, another celebrated artist of the garden.

The dedication ceremony will be on Tuesday, September 29th at 10:30am. The star-studded event is expected to include Barbara Mandrell, Ralph Emery, Steve Holy, Little Jimmy Dickens, Jeffrey Steele, and the families of Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Minnie Pearl.

Where is Everyone? Big promises broken- but the show must go on!

Glen Templeton as Conway Twitty
Glen Templeton as Conway Twitty

 

Sunday was TPAC’s big debut of Conway Twitty: The Musical.   Music City TV is reporting that big names were promised to be in the audience last night.   Names that we would all recognize:  Reba McIntryre, Barbara Mandrell, Luke Bryan and half of Montgomery Gentry.  Not one of them were there! 

I have not personally seen the show, well because I didn’t show last night either but it doesn’t seem to be a story that will interest most. 

Even though the big names were not present last night there were a few “stars” that did show:  Crystal Gayle, sister of Loretta Lynn (who is portrayed in the musical).  There were also a few Opry stars: Jeannie Seely, T.G. Sheppard, Bill Anderson, Jeff Bated and Mandy Barnett.

After seeing a few of the reviews from last nights opening show I not kicking myself in the butt for not attending.  It was only a one night show since they are moving it immediately out to Missouri.  They say that it will make it’s way back to Nashville but again….not gonna run out to see it. Don’t think anyone missed anything worth seeing.
