35 Years On the Circle, and the Opry Is Giving Vince Gill Two Nights For It

The Grand Ole Opry is marking Vince Gill's 35th year as a member with a pair of shows built around him. Thirty-five years on that stage is not a number every member reaches, and the Opry's answer is to give him two nights instead of one. It is the kind of tenure this town measures in decades, not chart weeks — the difference between passing through Nashville and belonging to it.
