November 19, 2007: Charlie was surprised with an invitation to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. He was hosting his annual Christmas For Kids benefit show at the historic Ryman Auditorium when Opry member Martina McBride delivered the surprise Opry invitation. After Martina walked on stage with what appeared to be a Christmas gift for Charlie, she opened the small box she was holding to reveal a Christmas card reading:

"Peace, joy, love, and wishes fulfilled. These are the timeless treasures of Christmas. Thank you, Charlie, for all you've done to make Christmas wishes come true for thousands of children through the years. Now it's time to make a wish come true for you, too. You're officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Merry Christmas!"

Charlie backed away, overcome with emotion while the crowd exploded with applause.

"I cannot even begin to tell you folks — this is very emotional for me," said Charlie. "I never ever in my wildest dreams when I came to Nashville with my precious wife and son dreamed that this would happen. To think that now my name will be added along with all these great country artists. Thank you."

January 19, 2008: Charlie celebrates 50 years of music and is officially inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
