Nashville - First Guest

Sunday, February 10, 2013

As we finally start to settle into the Nashville area, our final guest in London has become our first guest to see us in the South.  My brother coincidentally had to be down here for a week for work so he extended his trip to join us in touring the city over a long weekend.

We jumped shoulder deep into the music scene with a trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame to see antiques from Elvis, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and many others.  Jolene's favorite of course was Dolly Parton's scribbled initial lyrics of the song "Jolene" where she used the name of a girl she met at one of her book signings for a new song.  Afterwards we headed over to a bar called Honkey Tonk and we had the band play the song "Jolene" for us to tie the afternoon together.



Later in the day we headed over to Station Inn for some Bluegrass music.  They've got a great setup there and bring in good talent.



We also hit up the local Yazoo Brewery for a tour, hiked Radnor Lake trails (Carolina Wren spotting!), and cheered on when we got the conductor of one of our many trains to blow his horn as he went under the bridge we were walking across.







Who is visiting next?

I expect we will visit before too long. We will want to see some of the same sites (or similar ones) you showed David. We probably will want to have Shrimp and Grits too.

By the time you show up there will almost be too many options for you guys to fit in. Next time I run into you I need to get more details about this trip anyhow so we can plan ahead over here.
