		November 21st, 2007 ~ Take a two-hour trip to Music City, U.S.A. as we hit the high-class and the low-class joints. Nashville has been a hub of playing and recording country music for over 50 years while also generating a steady stream of regional R&B hits. Come backstage at the Grand Ole Opry and meet the people who make it work, from ushers and announcers to long-time cast members Porter Wagoner, Marty Stuart and others. Pop into the venerable Gruhn's Guitars, grab a bite at the Pancake Pantry, and pay respects at country music's finest final resting place, Spring Hill Cemetery.
