NAMES IN THE NEWS : Huge Human Guitar Honors Opry
“Hee Haw” star Roy Clark helped almost 400 guitar pickers, 1,000 spectators and three songwriters form a huge human guitar.
The event Sunday celebrated the 150th anniversary of photography and the 65th birthday of the Grand Ole Opry, said Tom Adkinson, a spokesman for Opryland.
Billed as “Opryland’s Great Guitar Pull,” the event provided a subject for Tennessee photographers during a 150-hour nationwide photo shoot sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Photographers.
The participants formed like a marching band on a football field to make the guitar, which measured 165 feet by 50 feet at the Opryland USA theme park.
