Crystal Pistol

A large nightclub at 300 North Broad Street in Fairborn, close to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Crystal Pistol booked name country and bluegrass bands on the weekends in the 1970s. The Osborne Brothers appeared there several times when they were at the peak of their popularity. At one time, it was called The Grand Ole Opry, but they were probably forced to change the name to the Crystal Pistol because the Opry frowned on other entities using their name.
