    Description

    THIS IS AN 8 X 10 PHOTO in a hanging or stand-alone frame
    Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry,  this photo was taken by Ken Kittinger, the legendary Gold Record maker of 50 years and "Round-about" character on Music Row in Nashville.  (Google:  Ken Kittinger Gold Records).  Ken knew every country music star and pretty much rock, pop and jazz stars as well,  but his home base on Music Row was noted in Billboard Magazine and from Hank Williams to Carrie Underwood,  he knew them all.  He took hundreds of photos,  and at his funeral,  Opry stars laughed about how they would often say,  "Watch out,  here comes Ken with another stack of pictures."  Ken would have his photos copied and - like a spider -  jump out weeks, months or even years later in their dressing rooms or the Opry breakroom and have the stars sign a stack of his photos.  He never had them published and they were found in his workshop after his passing in 2016.  You will not find these on the Internet.  We've tried many times.  They're originals.  And there are many,  many,  many more to come.  Ken is my dad.  I'm 73 and a retired CNN anchor and NBC White House reporter.  I do this alone,  and I can only list so many of his more than 5,000 treasures he left behind - at a time.  I don't overcharge and I don't gouge.  Pop's gold records and signed items are rare,  were only made for the record labels and for his private use or sent to music executives, radio stations and DJ's as "Thank you's" for the Music Row labels and songwriters.  They are presented to you in his memory,  for his legacy and for your enjoyment.  For additional items in his estate (and I add new ones frequently),  click on this link:
    A  COA FROM MR. KITTINGER'S ESTATE COMES WITH.  PLEASE PROVIDE A NAME FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
