SHORT TAKES : Snow Celebrates 40 Opry Years
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music singer Hank Snow, celebrating his 40th anniversary on the Grand Ole Opry, remembers having butterflies during his debut on the show.
“I remember it very, very well,” he said in an interview Thursday about his first Opry performance in 1950. “I was nervous, not to the point of passing out, but I was nervous.”
Snow, 75, will observe his anniversary on the long-running show Saturday night. The event will be broadcast live on The Nashville Network on cable television.
Snow is best known for his 1950 hit record “I’m Movin’ On.” He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1979.
