GOT MUSIC??





As if four weeks on tour with the Blue Devils and an intense visit to New Orleans wasn't enough yet,.. we stopped in Nashville Tennessee today.
A different style of music, and maybe not exactly my thing, but did we enjoy the evening!!! What excellent bands!!!

It was quite a drive from New Orleans up to Nashville! Originally we had planned this stop on the wau to Florida, and Memphis on the way back, but we changed plans a little bit.
We only got to Nashville rather late today, so we didn;t have all that much time. But then... what would be going on in a town like this on a quiet Sunday? Not much I guess.



Well,.. the evening definitely proved the heart of the town was as lively as could be. "Broadway", the main street downtown, wasn't crowded, but the bars and clubs that had live music had quite a crowd.

At dinner (smoked ribs for me!) we enjoyed some live Country music and after a stroll along the various bars we ended up in Robert's Western World. What a great bar! Not because the beers were only $2.50, but they had a 4-piece live band playing some wild country music. Unbelievable!


We had a couple of drinks there and enjoyed every minute of it. OK... I preferred the Jazz I heard in New Orleans, but this was just great fun. The violin player showed off some speed technique in some of the songs. Amazing stuff!!

The hotel we're at in on the outskirts of downtown. The dollar exchange rate is still treating us well, for at $44 a night in a room with 2 double beds... I'm not complaining!

Enjoy,

HK
