I really dig seeing Grandpa Jones in his civilian clothes.

...and Jerry Byrd "slides in" and gooses somebody, too--ha!

HI BOB,

Thanks for sharing this movie of the "Grand Ole Opry" cast at Roy Acuff's picnic.

That was Vito Pellettieri that Jerry Byrd goosed.
I believe he was the manager of the OPRY.

I was quite fortunate to have attended the OPRY for the first time in MAY of 1963. Lorreta Lynn was a new comer on the OPRY then.

That's the year I was born. It appears that Acuff really knew how to throw a party.

I had to go back and watch it again to look at all the great vintage cars in the background.

Great video.

Fabolous! I had no idea that something like that existed. They must have had a great time! Very Happy

Kind Regards, Walter
