Bobby and Sonny Osborne just recently celebrated fifty years as members
\nof the Grand Ole Opry and were featured on WSM radio together for the
\nfirst time in years.
\nSonny who is 76 is now retired from Bluegrass music while Bobby at 82
\nstill plays with the Rocky Top X Press. He still tours shows and plays
\nthe Opry on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

In 1967 Felice and boudleaux bryant wrote their most famous recording
\n“Rocky Top” which they released on Decca records on Christmas day.
\nIt is the Tennessee state college fight song and has been since.
\nAnd Bobby Osborne still proudly plays it today.
\nAnd in 1982 it was inducted as our Official Tennessee State song.<\/p>\n

Independent filmmaker Russ Farmer has released a documentary about
\nthese two brothers and how they helped shape Bluegrass music as it was
\nbeing brought forth by greater influences.<\/p>\n

They grew up in Hyden, Ky and went on to become the first Bluegrass band
\nto ever perform in the White House in 1973.
\nThis documentary details everything they have done since the beginning
\nand highlights their Opry induction in 1964 and also their IBMA induction
\nto the Hall Of Honor in 1994.
\nSixty years on the road is a long long time and honestly I don’t blame
\nSonny Osborne for his retiring, that is a hard and rough life.<\/p>\n

They also became the first Bluegrass band to incorporate electric instruments
\non stage and were also the first Bluegrass band to play on a college campus.<\/p>\n

This film will feature ALL OF THIS and much much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
