Taking the Grand Ole Opry stage is a dream come true for many country artists. The stage is a part of country music history. As luck would have it, Flores shared the stage with some classic country greats when he made his debut. Crystal Gayle, Jeannie Seely, Connie Smith, and the Riders in the Sky performed that night as well. John Conlee, Hannah Ellis, and Anne Wilson were also on the bill.
