You think about people like hank williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and mr. acuff, and, of course, george jones. and just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. that's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the opry and how it's played such a part in country music.

More From Alan Jackson

When i was asked if i wanted to perform on the grand ole opry, i yelled, 'are you kidding me?' i've been waiting for that my whole life. to be invited where so many of the greatest country artists have performed is an honor, and i still can't believe it has been bestowed on me. just to stand in the circle where so many greats have stood-hank williams, kitty wells, i just couldn't believe it.
