The show will run from 1-5 pm with admission set at $10.oo (kids 9 and under free) Line up: Charlie Louvin, Del Reeves Stonewall Jackson,Jeanie Seely, Jimmie C. Newman, Jan Howard, and Billy Walker, Grand Ol Opry Staff Band and Eddie Stubbs. [[This message was edited by Larry Miller on 05 May 2002 at 08:42 AM.] |

| What can I do to help? Jim is a great person and a great steel player. I have known him for years. I would be more than happy to play dobro at the show or give a donation. Jim did me a favor by playing on Shot's tribute album. What can I do? Terry |

Larry, Is there an address where those of us not in the Nashville area and not able to attend the show could send a contribution?

| Tommy, I assume you could send any contributions to the Grand Ol Opry to either Del or Charlie. |
