HOWDY!!!!

She's one of the most respected and beloved name's in country music history.

Cousin Minnie Pearl.

For decades a staple on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, millions of people around the world delighted at the stories about what's going on back home in Grinder Switch.  Much like Mayberry, that was one town we all wanted to visit!

Minnie passed away in 1996 at the age of 83, but thankfully we have her wonderful humor and attitude to watch over and over.  In this great clip, the Country Hall of Fame is well represented as Minnie is introduced on stage at the Opry by Roy Acuff, then sits down with the legendary Bill Anderson backstage to chat.
