The Grand Ole Opry, one of the longest-lived and most popular showcases for western music, begins broadcasting live from Nashville, Tennessee on November 28, 1925. The showcase was originally named the Barn Dance, after a Chicago radio program called the National Barn Dance that had begun broadcasting the previous year.

Definitely legendary
I remember getting a new radio back in '27 and we'd come in from the fields and listen while we ate Rutabaga pie. Life was good before the crash.

Indeed it does young fella. I'm turning 242 in February
