Chet Atkins is in Harpeth Hills cemetary.
George Jones payed to bury Johnny Paycheck because he used to sing background vocals for him
there have a casket there inside right
I can’t believe how small some of the graves were. Especially Porter Wagoners.
wow you didn’t know Dottie Rambo? lol jk alot of folks don’t know of her God rest her soul
Real nice video!! We need more though! It would have been alot better if you had been an actual country music enthusiast with a touch more research!! Very nice and I look forward to your next post!
Great and very interesting tour. I was hoping you had also visited the grave of Skeeter Davis. She has done much for country music too. Thanks again.
you’re such a good tour guide
had fun watching it!! 
good job!
I enjoyed the tour (1 and 2). Great job.
Thank you for the information ORG. It is always sad when talent ends up being drowned out by the drink, I can never hear Janis Joplin without feeling sad about the waste.
Johnny Paycheck was in a nursing home for quite a while before his death. He sang “Take this job and shove it” Most of his money I believe sadly went on booze and “other things”
I read about the three children in the fire and merely assumed that third grave was the other son although the dating on the grave threw me off a bit. Thank you for the correction and I also did not know that Roy Orbison was just ten yards from Frank Zappa. Wow, that is interesting.
Nice job. Your Orbison information is a little off, however. Grady Orbison was Roy’s younger brother. He died in a car accident on Caudill Drive in Hendersonville while on his way to visit his brother. Roy’s son Wesley did survive the fire in 1968 and lives in Texas. Your statement that Roy is buried in LA is correct. Roy lies in an unmarked grave about 10 yards from that of Frank Zappa.
I’ve been kind of surprised at how modest have been their graves. They’re nice but none of them really went for “Wow!” BTW, I just found out that Bill Monroe is buried in Kentucky and what I found was just a Bill Monroe tribute monument but his son may possibly be buried there when he dies.
Thank you… I found this very interesting on many levels. My dad was a country fan and Marty Robbins was his favourite. I love the irony of someone called Paycheck, not having a paycheck to pay for his funeral. Some extraordinary people who led extraordinary lives. Great videos…
