‘I had a great visit tonight at The Grand Ole Opry with this famous singer-songwriter, Jim Lauderdale.
Jim’s had his songs recorded by Patty Loveless and George Jones (Saturday 12 September 1931 – Friday 26 April 2013), as well as George Strait, Vince Gill, and so many others.
And, he’s a nice guy’
