Buisness Trip/mini-vactation to Nashville

[djroge1]

I had a conference to attend in Nashville last week and I got to take in some of the sights. Here are a couple of pics.

 

I did take some advice from someone on the forum. Other than Gruhn's Guitars I took the tour of the Ryman Auditorium - yes I stood on stage and played Folsum Prison Blues. I'll refrain from posting that pic of me because I've seen some of your handi work with photo shop.

 

I also went to the Blue Bird Cafe on the Sunday night writers night. They had a lot of great writers trying to make it big. The famous guest at the end was a guy name Thom Shepherd. He wrote "Riding with Private Malone" "Red Neck Yacht Club" and others. He is funny - Definately go see him even if you don't like country music.

 

Check out his song he wrote for some troops during a USO tour while in Africa- it's a song about

I've gotten to know some of you guys and this song is up your "ahhhem" alley. Just watch and listen.

 

Here are some pics of my trip

 

 

I played this while there: 1959 I think the guy said it is an ES-35 (feel free to correct me on that)

The Charlie Daniels Museum - A Gibson Les Paul

 

 

All of the neck inlay had various names of God - "prince of peace" "Lord of Lords" etc... that photo didn't turn out too good.

I am envious of you, Droge1! Sounds like you had a great time, and I'm glad you made it back safely. Thanks for the pics. The LP is something to behold, isn't it?

There is some great music if you know where to look . I recommend Boogie Blues Bar in Printer's Alley
