Stonewall Jackson and other country music stars say they joined the cast of the historic radio show the Grand Ole Opry decades ago with an understanding: Faithfully make appearances at the peak of your career for less than you could earn elsewhere, and the Opry would offer security and a place to perform when the hits stopped coming.
