I think the mix-up is because the mainstream media is unaware that when it refers to "85 years of performances at The Grand ol' Opry," that refers to the Ryman for longtime country fans, not the current "Opry." You'd think they'd make that distinction. I foolishly assumed that at least the local media would have done that.
BTW, the Gibson showcase factory in the Opry Mills Mall only produces acoustic instruments like banjos and mandolins and not electric instruments.
