A business trip to Music City (Nashville, Tennessee)

I recently had the opportunity to visit Nashville Tennessee for business, and had the luxury of having an afternoon flight home the next day. This afforded me and my co-worker the opportunity to take in some of the highlights of Music City.

We Went right down to Broadway and stopped into a few bars where country and bluegrass bands were playing for tips (no cover), and then headed over to BB King's club. We had some food and beers and saw a couple of bands there. We then went down the street to the Wild Horse Saloon and watched a decent southern rock/country band play. There were many people (sheep) line dancing which makes me laugh, but the band played a rousing "sweet home Alabama" which made the $4.00 cover worthwhile to me.

We then wandered into the Second Fiddle and watched an excellent blue collar working band rock for a long time.

The next morning we enjoyed the excellent Nashville weather and walked around the same area, and I was able to stop into Gruhn Guitars and check out the insane collection of used and vintage instruments. Amazing, scary, dangerous place that store.

Nashville is a cool town, I recommend visiting if you are interested in seeing a lot of live music and taking in the Music City vibe.

Nashville is full of bars with working bands, tons of them, and many of them work for tips.

The FREE Charlie Daniels Museum. I snapped a photo but didn't go in.

It's Nashville, not Memphis, but Elvis lives anyway.
