E3 Construction for Destruction and the Country Singer Curse

In this episode of Leave the Ghost Light On, Danica, despite being sick, tells us the story about the shortest lived theater in history and the disaster that lead to its end. Then we travel down to the south for a lil southern hospitality with Jill to hear about the ghosts of country music. Welcome to the Royal Brunswick Theater and Ryman Auditorium aka the Grand Ole Opry.
