Brad Paisley and Little Jimmy Dickens helped a handful of construction workers install the circle in the center of the Grand Ole Opry House stage yesterday after flood waters nearly destroyed the precious piece of country music history. The two then performed the Opry standard, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” Officials announced the Opry House will reopen to the public with a star-studded performance September 28th and the Opry’s 85th anniversary celebration will go on as scheduled in October. The circle, made in 1974 from a part of the old stage from the Opry’s former home at Ryman Auditorium, was submerged in 46 inches of water during the May flood that damaged the Opry house and the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Resort in Nashville.
