the last time I saw my great aunt in bills creek,north carolina,she spoke of staying up until midnight to hear deford bailey closethe show on the opry...I would think that charlie mccoy probably played on the opry from time to time...who else? if the revdan smith would have ever played on the opry,he probably would have stold the showIMHO

Mike Caldwell, Terry McMillan, and I think Buddy Greene has performed there in the past.

I reckon Willie Nelson has performed there many times, with Mickey Raphael on harp. And back in the day, Waylon would have had Donnie Brooks. Both are monster players.

Dom and Tony Sgro, the Sgro Brothers. Funny you should mention Donnie Brooks. I've talked to Micky Rapheal on the phone three or four times in the past five years, the last time was a couple of weeks ago. I was telling him that one thing I really liked about his playing was his rhythm harp and I spent some time studying his chord rhythm. He said "I'll tell you who I learned that from. It was Donnie Brooks."
