The quote for the week: Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often. Mark Twain

We’re getting ready to have another good time at The Woodbine Opry this Saturday night. Our guests will be Joe Muench, T.K. Hilton, and Debbie Spivey. We always have a good time when these folks visit with us.

This week’s trivia question: We’ve all heard of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys. Tommy Duncan, the “hillbilly Bing Crosby” sang on all of their hit songs except one. Tommy was fired because of his complaining of Bob Wills’ drinking and missing shows. What song did he not sing, and who sang it?

Last week’s answer: Red Steagall

I hope to see you Saturday night at The Woodbine Opry.

We had a fine program and a fun evening tonight at The Woodbine Opry, right here in beautiful downtown Woodbine, Georgia. The house was full again and I hope everyone enjoyed the music, visiting, and dancing. Our first-time visitors were from McIntosh County, Blackshear, Carrollton, and Burke County, Georgia, Macclenny, Fl., Weir, WV, Durant, Ok., Cleveland, Oh., Ontario, Canada, Upstate, NY, and Rochester, NY. We also had a busload of visitors from Pine Ridge Baptist Church out of Brunswick. It’s always good seeing new faces at the Opry and I hope that you had a good time with us.

Thanks to all who donated to the cake table. The half-n-half was $242.00.

Those who provided tonight’s entertainment were J.C. Hunnicutt, Aubrey Jones, Hershel Hickox, Brian Rowland, Carroll Hayes, Thumper Bennett, Robert McCullers, Nelly Aba, and yours truly. I so appreciate all of the folks for donating their time and talent and providing another evening at The Woodbine Opry.

Hunnicutt, Aubrey Jones, Hershel Hickox, Brian Rowland, Tumper Bennett, and yours truly. Our guests tonight were Phil Tipton, Nelly Aba, Debbie Spivey, and Kevin Walker.
