We begin with a visit to nashvilles Ryman Auditorium as author david ewing talks about how the venue became a place for political rallies, civil rights events and home to Country Musics grand ole opry. Today were at the historic Ryman Auditorium in downtown nashville, tennessee. It definitely tells the history of both things it is famous for. It was built by a river boat captain who was famously converted under a tent in downtown nashville in may of 1865. After his conversion, he believed that traveling ministers should have a permanent home inside that was large enough to take the large crowds of the traveling ministers who came to town.

The music part of the history, the Country Music part, deals with the grand ole opry which came here in 1943 after being in many different homes in nashville, and stayed here until 1974 when the new opry house was built.
