In the fall of 1954, a teenage Elvis Presley made his first (and only) performance there. Although the public reacted politely to his revolutionary style of rockabilly music, after the show he was told by Opry manager Jim Denny that he ought to return to Memphis to resume his truck-driving career, prompting Elvis to swear to never to return, and he never did.

When he started working at WSM in 1925, the show was known only as "WSM's Barn Dance." After WSM became a NBC affiliate his show followed a series called "Grand Opera." As the show began one day in December of 1927, Hay reportedly said "for the past hour we have been listening to music taken largely from Grand Opera, but from now on we will present 'The Grand Ole Opry.'" The name fit the informal, hometown style of the show and it stuck.and it is in my hometown NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
