Then followed an invitation to guest on Ralph Emery’s Nashville Now. When Ralph interviewed Snider, the audience burst into laughter. Snider's phone hasn’t stopped ringing since with national invitations. His southern drawl, country wit and musical skill landed Mike membership into the Grand Ole Opry on June 2, 1990.
