Week of January 21, 2008

January 21, 2008 - Legendary country superstar Charlie Daniels was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on Sunday, January 20, 2008 by Marty Stuart and Connie Smith.

Before a sell-out crowd, Marty Stuart welcomed Charlie Daniels into Opry membership, saying, "The Opry is American and its reach is universal. A steady force in the midst of passing trends. The Opry is family. God Bless Charlie Daniels."

Daniels responded, "My Bible tells me God gives us the desires of our hearts and tonight the promise has come true." He then invited Stuart, Smith, Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins to join him on stage to perform "Will The Circle Be Unbroken."
