We are saddened to learn that Grand Ole Opry and WSM Radio legend Bill Cody is in the hospital in critical condition.
Bill has been a longtime friend of the Johnny Cash Museum and our Founder, Bill Miller. Over the years, that friendship has included the museum hosting his 20th WSM Anniversary Celebration in May 2014, Bill graciously emceeing the unveiling of a rare Johnny Cash record at the museum in May 2018, and welcoming our own Bill Miller as a guest on his iconic Coffee, Country & Cody program in 2023.
A beloved voice in country music broadcasting for nearly 50 years, Bill has left an indelible mark on Nashville and the country music community. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill, his family, friends, and the entire country music community during this difficult time. Please join us in lifting him up in prayer.
