ASHLEY MCBRYDE SAID SHE COULDN’T LOOK DOWN AT THE KID SINGING ALONG IN THE OPRY CROWD, BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE CRIED. The kid was ten and a half. Her name was Sawyer June Dinwiddie, and she was there on February 21 because her parents had bought tickets so she could see her favorite singer. Afterward the family went backstage, where McBryde came the other way down the hall. They gave her pecans from their farm, and Sawyer’s mother mentioned that her daughter knew every word of “Bible and a .44.” McBryde got out her guitar and sat down on the hallway floor. Sawyer sat facing her and sang. “When they sat down in the floor, the whole room went silent,” her mother Kit said. Before they parted, McBryde told her that Sawyer June was a star’s name, and that she meant to be in the crowd the night Sawyer walked across the Opry stage. Five months later, Sawyer was live on WSM Radio when McBryde called in. “I told you I’m gonna watch you walk across that stage,” she said, and then, on behalf of the Opry, invited her to stand in the circle and make her debut. Sawyer told her it was the biggest honor of her life, and that she was the best friend she had ever had. No date has been announced yet. She is eleven. – Country Music

THEY HELD DOUBLE FUNERAL SERVICES IN NASHVILLE ON AUGUST 4, 1964 — ONE FOR HIM, ONE FOR THE PIANO PLAYER WHO DIED BESIDE HIM. THE COFFIN, BURIED UNDER FLOWERS SENT BY FANS, WAS DRIVEN THROUGH SILENT STREETS. THEN THEY TOOK HIM HOME TO TEXAS. Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff were there. They had been the ones searching the woods two days earlier, walking a twenty-square-mile grid alongside 700 volunteers, hoping to find him alive. The next afternoon in Carthage, hundreds filed past his casket at Hawthorn Funeral Home all morning. The Shreveport Times reported that the velvet-voiced singer drew his last packed house — that even in death, the Gentleman filled the room. They buried him on a two-acre plot off Highway 79, in the red hills where he grew up. Then the strangest thing happened. The records kept coming. Mary Reeves opened the vault, and the hits kept charting — for twenty more years. In 1967, the Country Music Hall of Fame elected him. Their inscription read that his rich voice brought millions of new fans to country music from every corner of the world. Thousands still drive out to that plot every year, from every state and dozens of countries. He never stopped filling the room. – Country Music
