NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As part of its ongoing Opry 100 celebration, the Grand Ole Opry, presented by Humana, continued the “Opry 100 Honors” series on Saturday night, celebrating the bigger-than-life Opry icon Little Jimmy Dickens. The special series of Opry 100 Honors shows is sponsored by Dan Post.
The evening featured his longtime friend Brad Paisley, who also celebrated 25 years of Opry membership, along with Opry members Bill Anderson, The Gatlin Brothers, and Trace Adkins, who was invited in 2003 by Little Jimmy, famously using a stepladder to ask the 6’6” star to join the Opry family. The evening also included The Oak Ridge Boys, who were officially inducted as Opry members by Little Jimmy in 2011, Julia Cole, and 49 Winchester along with special guest announcer Pat Sajak.
