We have lost a big man in country music. Rest in peace long time broadcaster and WSM Radio and Grand Ole Opry host Bill Cody. Thank you for your ever present smile and love for the music.

Our friend and longtime WSM Radio host Bill Cody is in need of our help. You may have heard him on the Grand Ole Opry, or hosting many other programs and events over the years. He has been such a help to so many of us in country music, always bringing the biggest smile of anyone in the room! Time for us to return the favor…

On this Memorial Day, we think of everyone who has gone before us, and made our lives better because of it. Our military, our family, first responders, close friends, teachers…anyone who has made it easier for us to do what we love, like pick guitar and sing songs! Photo: Chuck Plante
