Bobby G. Rice is a country music legend. With nine albums to his credit and thirty songs that charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart Rice is still going strong on the performance circuit.  On June 3 Rice will be performing at Good Ol’ Fashioned Barn Dance at Memories on Maple.

In July 31, 1971 was the first time that Rice appeared on the Grand Ole Opry. “It was a huge experience. What a feeling for a singer!” comments Rice. “I was on Roy Acoff segment. Then the following years I was on multiple times in the seventies and eighties. I think it was a dozen or fifteen times I was on the Opry.”  In his personal collection Rice has the audios of his first times on the Opry as well as the programs.
