October 30, 2007 Nashville




Today we finally finished making the HUGE decision as to what rugs we wanted to buy for the RV. So, we shopped a couple hours in the am, then at 3:00 we went downtown Nashville and walked around the city a bit and landed in a bar with live country music going on. We had a couple brewskis and then headed for a cool restaurant that we had spotted earlier. Had a great meal with wonderful ambiance....gotta have ambiance you know, according to JD.:) We had purchased tickets to the Grand Ole Opry that started at 7:00 so walked over to the Ryman Auditorium. Here is a list of the bands and singers we saw.


.


Bill Anderson


Jack Greene


Luke Bryan (I believe his band is called Restless Heart....Very Good.


Jim Ed Brown


Del McCoury Band


(Little) Jimmy Dickens


Kellie Pickler


.


Most of the names we didn't know, but once they sangs their songs we recognized the songs. Of course, we all know who Kellie Picker is...American Idol?????


It was really good and I am sure mom and Don would have really enjoyed it. The big thing in Nashville this week is that Porter Wagoner died and everything is dedicated to him and billboards are all advertising how they will miss him. His funeral is Thursday and it will be broadcasted on the radio.


I added a picture of the Ryman Auditorium.
