After years of banging his head on the wall that stands between the talent and the money....Ole Roger Miller became an "Overnight Success" and a millionaire...at this point he knew all too well that it wasn't the Opry that made pickers famous..it's the pickers that made the Opry famous...without songwriters there would be no songs to sing, no notes to play, no Opry...So the story goes...Roger and Willie and a few other songwriters were sittin in the front booth at Tootsies enjoying a beverage, or two, and up walks the guy that used to book the Opry...he told Roger how proud he was of him, and told him that he was gonna give him a spot on the Opry...Ole Roger looked up at him, and smiled, and said "If I need me and Opry I'll buy me one!"
