"The Grand Ole Opry?"?

Who was the first performer on The Grand Ole Opry?

I agree with "uncle jimmy thompson".

Dr. Humphrey Bate and his string quartet of old-time musicians.

The historical records, and the current "biography" of WSM, state that fiddler Uncle Jimmy Thompson was the first person to perform on the WSM program now known as the Grand Ole Opry.

Of course, George D. Hay had to introduce him, so Hay might actually be the "first!"
