The Tennessean reports that Gaylord Entertainment has axed the operations manager and several other staffers at Nashville’s WSM-AM radio, which is the famous home of the Grand Ole Opry radio show.

Oleander releases a new studio album titled “Joyride” on March 4.

Hotly contested Grammy: the Best Pop Instrumental Album category pits Kenny G against John Tesh.
Bring it on.
