Ralph Stanley
Brad Paisley

This might be one of the last appearences of Jim Hefferman as Brad's steel player.

Dale Watson will be introduced by Jeanne Seeley during both the 6:30 and 9:30pm cst
segments so there is a remote possibility he could be on Opry Backstage.

On the 6:30 radio segment Jeanie was very generous to Dale and acknowledged Kevin Owens.

you bet, a good night for the Opry - I think Brad Paisley is very deserving and I think his reaction to the invite was sincere, legitimately appeared that he could not speak to Bill A.....

and Dale, man-oh-man, I tuned in for the 6:30 spot over the inet and the two songs were both great - the second filled with such great steel, Ricky Davis is the genuine fit with DW, but Kevin Owens did a super job tonite - the steel solo trades with Dale's lead were perfect. Great to see Dale get a quick interview clip on the TV portion too!

Dale's performance was wonderful. All three songs (both shows) were great. The two new songs written for Terry were very moving. The song on the second show (Our First and Our Last) is a real tear jerker. The whole band sounded great and it was a treat to hear Kevin Owens on steel.
