Born 131 Years Ago Today in Indiana, the Father of the Grand Ole Opry Who Helped Lead Country Music Into the Mainstream

On this day (November 9) in 1895, George Dewey Hay was born in Attica, Indiana. While Hay never sang a note or played an instrument, he is largely responsible for the booming industry that is country music today.

After beginning his career in print journalism before shifting to radio, the businessman launched what would morph into one of country music’s most cherished institutions on November 28, 1925.
