After I was as much grown up as I've ever become, I saw a rerun of
Grand Old Opry and realized that. She was one fine looking woman and
had a good voice once you got by the clothes and the hat and all. But
she had her shtick and played it very well. I'm just a bit ashamed I
was too 'sophisticated' to notice that when the show was alive.

We used to sometimes see Mrs. Henry Cannon (that's how she was
always referred to) around Nashville when I lived there. She was
extremely dignified, yet still seemed approachable. IIRC, she was also
very active in charitable causes.
