Not For Money Bluegrass at Lucy Opry in Shelby County
In Lucy Tennessee a Friday night bluegrass scene thrives in the former schoolhouse now BLW Civic Club. Doug Cole runs the Lucy Opry from a wheelchair with the Dixie Bluegrass Boys, welcoming locals and Memphis visitors to an open stage, no charge, with rent funded by a small weekly basket. The scene champions traditional bluegrass, praising Bill Monroe over Merle Hagard and emphasizing homegrown music and atmosphere.
