As you saw in the last post, we're now at Seven Points Campground in Hermitage, TN. Upon arrival, Rick asked if we all wanted to go to the Grand Ole Opry. Umm, yes!
The next evening we were there!
Fun stuff!
The view from our seats!
We snapped the pictures of the performers below off a big screen to our right since it was closer. As a result, the quality isn't the best but it's by far better than the dots they'd be if we shot them onstage!
We saw Whisperin' Bill Anderson.
He sang two funny songs, one about
his ex-wife was particularly hilarious!
Christian artist Jason Crabb sang a
fabulous bluesy, rocking rendition
of the old gospel song,
I'm Working on a Building
and a new song about the current times.

I could not find Jason Crabb's version of I'm Working on a Building but these links are a mighty fine rendition of it by Trace Adkins, T. Graham Brown, Jimmy Fortune & Marty Raybon.
was a fun fireball from the
moment he entered the stage,
spinning & bouncing around.
He sang
followed by
Oh, can he play the harmonica too!
What's up with my memory?
Oh well.
Finally, the incredible
sang
and
performed the amazing closing number,
This link is from that night!
I was thrilled to find it on YouTube.
We absolutely loved it and I hope you do too!
We also saw
and
It was most definitely an extra special night!
A great big thank you to
Rick
for getting the tickets!

The next day, Joe, Linda, George & I decided to check out Lower Broadway. Carrie said she wasn't going to be active that day & Rick was tasked with fixing the RV potty so after George made a trip to Camping World with Rick, we headed downtown.
After a late lunch at Margaritaville,
we roamed the Lower Broadway blocks
listening to songs wafting in and out as
we passed honky tonk after honky tonk.
Eventually, we settled into
to get a close up of their enticing band.
It was entertaining!

The next evening, we all met up with Jack & Middy for dinner at Puckett's in downtown Nashville. After our super tasty meal, Rick & Carrie opted to head home as the rest of us headed back to Broadway, just a couple blocks away.
You can sure tell they're brothers!
Middy & Linda having a good time!
See the cute Legend's Corner
cowboy boot koozie in my hand?
Joe was kind enough to buy one for each of us.
Thank you Joe!
We loved them so much, we
danced them all over the table!
We're dancing so fast, it's a blur.
Perhaps a new dance craze--Blur Dancing!
Jack had an early morning the next day so they had to leave after awhile. It was sure nice to see them though and we were glad they got to meet our friends.
Once Jack & Middy departed, the four of us were curious to do more Broadway wandering. It was Thursday night and the sidewalks were full! The Predators game had just let out too.
These young guys were playing some
mean rock & roll on the streets!
I'm not sure if this music has an
official name but let's call it bucket music.
On a final note (pun intended),
look what Joe found in the Ernest Tubb store.

Do you see a resemblance?
That's all from Nashville.
We had a fantastic time in Music City!
Next, we go to the
Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg,
Great Smoky Mountains area.
Rick & Carrie opted out of the rest of the trip,
and we got an awesome, surprise
in Pigeon Forge!
See ya soon.
