Flatlanders make Opry debut

The Flatlanders - Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock — debuted at the Grand Ole Opry Friday. Gilmore noted that The Opry was his father’s favorite show. “I almost cried when it struck me that I was playing there,” he said, according to publicist Lance Cowan. “So I just had to start singing.”

The group hung backstage with some old friends, including John Anderson, Vince Gill, John Conlee, Suzy Boggus and, of course, Little Jimmy Dickens.
