Grand Ole Opry

Her debut on the hallowed stage was actually cut short by a surprise appearance from another superstar.

For a few minutes it was 1991 all over again.

He'll sign off at the end of July.

If this one doesn't hit you in the heart, you might want to check your pulse.

It was an amazing night.

She was just a shy, nervous kid.

It's hard to believe he has never played on the hallowed stage.

His influence spanned decades.

He also made a new friend that night who would change his life.

Congratulations, graduates!
