In fact, it was both a beginning and an end. Wagoner died Sunday night of lung cancer. This year, he’d celebrated a half-century on the Grand Ole Opry, and he’d taken applause-soaked bows at venues including Madison Square Garden, as his acclaimed new Wagonmaster album introduced the Opry legend to new generations of fans. “I remember standing onstage with him at the Garden, seeing 20-something kids with their fists in the air, yelling to their cool, quirky grandpa who was singing to them,” said Marty Stuart, Wagoner’s friend, fellow Opry member and producer of Wagonmaster. “These young people loved him, because young people want the truth and he was a beacon of the truth. I thought this was all just getting started.” Long a lynchpin of the Opry, Wagoner was enjoying a 2007 that found him celebrated for new musical achievements rather than for his sparkling suits and famed association with Dolly Parton (his syndication television show brought Parton’s voice and image to the nation). Wagonmaster is a likely candidate for a Grammy nomination: If he receives that nomination and wins, it would be his first Grammy in 38 years. Other positive signs included the unveiling of a signature model Martin guitar and an Oct. 31 tribute party at the Tennessee State Museum. That will now be a de-facto memorial. “When we were first talking about doing that, I said, ‘It’s a costume party, Porter. What are you going to come as?’” Stuart recalled. “He said, ‘If it’s a costume party, how ’bout if I come as Porter Wagoner?’” A recent lung cancer diagnosis, though, halted his personal momentum if not his career’s resurgence. Sunday, he spent his final hours surrounded by family and by his old duet partner, Parton. Though their professional split in the 1970s involved some legal rancor, Wagoner and Parton had long since set aside any differences. “I went over on Sunday afternoon and spent the last few hours with Porter and his family, so I was able to say goodbye,” said Parton, who rose to stardom when Wagoner chose her to be his foil on the syndicated Porter Wagoner television show. “I sang for him and prayed with him. It felt good that I had the opportunity to say goodbye properly. His family is very grateful to everyone for all their help.” Nashville singer-songwriter and guitarist Buddy Miller — who will perform at the State Museum party on a bill that also includes Emmylou Harris, Jim Lauderdale, Rodney Crowell and others — first grew to love Wagoner’s music while watching the syndicated show. “He’s so identified with Dolly, but there was so much more to Porter than that,” Miller said. “He’s overlooked sometimes as a writer, and as a producer, and as a harmony singer. He brought something unique to everything he did.” He certainly brought something unique to the Opry, where his flashy suits and comfortable stage presence made him both a crowd favorite and a public face of the institution. Fans would watch Wagoner in black and white on television, then go see him in sparkling color on the Opry. Mike Duggin of Fayetteville, Tenn., said he’d go to the Ryman at least once a month to see Wagoner when Duggin was in junior high and high school. “Ralph Emery would tell on the radio Friday what stars would be on the Opry on Saturday night,” Duggin said. “If he called out ‘Porter Wagoner,’ I was sure to be there.” Asked in a July interview about who might fill his shoes as an Opry ambassador, Wagoner said, “I think Vince Gill is a real strong, stable person. He’s the one that comes to mind first. He’s a wonderful singer and entertainer.” Gill entered the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, the evening of Wagoner’s death. Gill, Stuart and Ricky Skaggs are three of the performers who could provide leadership and direction at the Opry. “Some people are irreplaceable, total American originals, and Porter is one of those,” Stuart said. “This is about a passing of mantles and torches, and the responsibility falls to Vince and Ricky and some other people who have this music ingrained in our hearts. I’m serious about it, and so are Vince and Ricky.” PORTER WAGONER FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS The following are the funeral arrangements thanks to Keith Bilbrey of WSM Radio/Grand Ole Opry.

I sang for him and prayed with him. It felt good that I had the opportunity to say goodbye properly. His family is very grateful to everyone for all their help.” Dolly Parton “Losing Porter is going to take a whole lot of getting used to as he’s been a part of my life for so long. I grew up watching his television show in Mississippi and it was as if he were a member of our family. After I got to know him, he was. He was a masterful showman, who understood the art of the final act. He left the world on top. Some of the things that soften the blow of his passing are all the memories from the past year. We made a wonderful record together that got him lots of acclaim, he celebrated his 50th anniversary with the Grand Ole Opry, he had a new generation of kids in love with him and his music, the awards were coming, the Martin Guitar Company had named a guitar in his honor and he was asked to light the nation’s Christmas tree at the Pageant of Peace celebration in Washington, DC next month. One of the last things he said to me was, “You’re gonna’ have to call the President and tell him I won’t be able to sing him any Christmas songs this year. Maybe next year.” Marty Stuart “Porter was my mentor in the early years of my musical journey and over the years became like family to me. He encouraged me and helped me to fulfill my dreams and was truly and inspiration. I love him and I miss him already.” Patty Loveless “I visited him in the hospital on Tuesday, and Porter led us in a prayer. He thanked God for friends, family and the Grand Ole Opry. This is a great loss for country music and the Grand Ole Opry. It’s also a great loss for me personally because he was a friend I was really just getting to know. I feel blessed for the time I did have with him.” Dierks Bentley Keith Bilbrey WSM Radio Grand Ole Opry **** Amy's Kitchen **** Pecan Balls with Fudge Sauce from Dessert Du Jour 3 cups vanilla ice cream (1-1/2 pints) 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted and cooled 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2/3 cup whipping cream 2/3 cup light-colored corn syrup 1 tablespoon creme de cacao 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 4 pecan halves For ice cream balls: Scoop ice cream into 4 balls (3/4 cup each); place in a small baking pan.
