Overview

Ha Ha! Work sometimes has massive perks! Shot this pic when Eric Church played Nissan Stadium May 25th. I could hear him from the 31st floor. It was a memory I won't forget.

Somehow, I've gotten behind on posting my pics... This thing called life! Humph! I've been to the CMA's, took a pic of Eric Church's Nissan Stadium concert from the 31st floor of a neighboring building, and a close up of the famous L&C building logo. Stay tuned!!

Well, sounds like it was alot of fun and great networking. Hehe! That's a cool thing WMOT does.

Oh yeah! While I have some unplanned time off, I thought I'd go downtown Nashville, through the detour, and the construction, and the f'ing Friday traffic to see the WMOT live show today. I was not disappointed! High South Band was so tight with their harmonies, i thought the Eagles had a new song! Wowza! I met all three from the High South Band, also Scott Miller (smart songs!) and one Madeleine Besson (yes she is from France) Networking in Nashville! YES!

Thanks @john I'm not holding my breath but ya never know. 😉

Hope to see you performing there some day!

Got to follow one of my Facebook friends to a small place on the West side call Belcourt Taps (Networking at it's best.) I really enjoyed the atmosphere and had a good time. Met new friends and sat with some old friends. Life is getting better little by little

Ken, it's literally 25 minutes from where I live. It's just such a party atmosphere, I can't go a lot! I like good music not LOUD good music. Make sense? LOL

How fantastic to get there!

Hi Peggy! yeah it sure was. CMT was there filming. It was fun and the prices were good. Some of the other places had more music but it was too much! Noise on every level. LOL I liked BB King's Blues Bar. There was only one stage and it was good! Chat soon!

Sounds like Ole Red was a good choice.

Blake Shelton's place downtown Nashville was classy! Loved it!

I should know better. But this ole girl is being dragged to the bars on Broadway this weekend by an out of towner. They always think that they have to go. I've only been twice myself. If anyone has any suggestions I'll take them! I want to go to Acme seed and Ole Red...We went to the Opry at the Ryman last year. Trying new things! thanks! Lisa

John, that's incredible. Bluegrass can be so fast. it amazes me that fingers can move that fast and make music. lol next hold music can i request a little bluegrass? 😜

I enjoy some bluegrass. A guilty pleasure of a few albums I play from time to time. I do enjoy playing the odd tune on guitar too.

Lisa, This looks like so much fun! There are many bluegrass artists I love, writers and performers..Bela Fleck, Allison Krauss, Robert Hunter...etc, etc. Can't wait to hear about old country night. Nice photos! Peggy

Dave that's a cool story! One of my friend's knows someone who plays Ricky Scaggs (I can't seem to get an introduction though... Maybe she's not a good friend? LOL) I'm glad your son was able to open your eyes to get you back to playing. Even if it isn't bluegrass. Speaking of vinyl, I just got a $5.00 turntable at a thrift store this weekend and was finally able to listen to some of my late husbands collection. Ok...his mother's too. she has 5 Hank William Sr and young George Jones and a stunning Loretta Lynn album where you can hear her vibrato. I love it! You've got some good ones I see. I've got to get better speakers. I hooked it up to my TV's sound bar but only get minimum level of sound. I'm working on it. Chat soon! Lisa

When I was in college I worked part time in Louisville, Kentucky. My uncle took me to a club along the river called The Great Midwestern Bluegrass Hall. My first time there, a young musician named Ricky Skaggs was playing with his band called Boone Creek. I was bitten by the bug and completely indoctrinated from that point on. He came over to our table between sets and chatted. That night led to me getting a Martin D28 and furiously learning bluegrass. I eventually became the most proficient I've ever been on guitar playing bluegrass. The Martin guitar unceremoniously left my possession years later and I made a bitter vow I was never going to play guitar again (it's a long story). One day after my oldest son shamed me by saying I had lost my musical soul, I got the only guitar I could afford, one that in no way compared to the Martin. By then, so much time had passed that I lost my bluegrass chops and was never motivated to work at it again. But to answer your question, I love it. I have in my collection a few vinyl lp's of Clarence White and the Kentucky Colonels that are very collectible. Still spin them a few times a month.

Music can fill your soul and make your heart soar. This is what happened to me last night at The Station Inn, Nashville. Wowza! Had it not been for the crowded room, I would've sworn I walked on to a porch pickin mountain cabin. There had to have been 10 guitars, 1 upright bass, 2 mandolins, 2 fiddles, a banjo, and the best darn harmonies in Bluegrass I've heard live ever. I got to meet the young banjo player Kelsey and a great singer Eugene who was playing the guitar but I suspect he could play anything... I'm going back next Monday to hear some old country! Can't wait. Does anyone else like Bluegrass? Play Bluegrass? I'd love to know!

I could only get the summary of the article. The rest was for members. But pretty cool for sure!!

pretty cool right?!!! I'm going to go there once I get settled! It's exciting to have ties with such big stuff. chat soon! Lisa

The link works fine

https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2018/08/16/how-johnny-cash-fan-became-nashville-power-player.html I'm not sure if anyone can follow this link and actually read it. the company I work for subscribes to this newspaper so we have access to all articles. My company does business lending and guess what?! we did the loan for this "Johnny Cash Museum" a year ago. I think I have to go! After I move closer to the city. I should have some nice pics in a month or so!

thanks! that is so cool. thinking outside the box but makes perfect sense.
