Over the weekend Jamey Johnson was invited to become the newest member of The Grand Ole Opry by the person that introduced him to the Opry stage for the very first time 17 years ago.
Bill Anderson came out during Jamey’s set on Saturday to inform him that ““Opry management told me to tell you that this is going to be your last guest appearance,” Whispering Bill then went on to say “The next time you appear on this stage you will be the newest member of our Opry cast and family!”
When it came time for Jamey to accept the nomination he said, “I accepted it 20 years ago! I really don’t know what to say except the obvious,” Johnson the added, “I love country music. I would have never moved here if it wasn’t for that; for the Opry keeping it alive and for the fans. I love you. Thank you.”
