The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum originally opened in 1967 in Nashville’s Music Row. The museum moved to its current location in downtown Nashville in 2001 and features three stories in more then 350,000 square feet of space. A mecca and a must visit for all country music lovers – the focus is on the music of course but also the history and stories of country music. The building itself represents country music – from the air looks like a bass clef and the top of the Country […]

A must visit for any country music lover – this is the country’s longest running radio broadcast, dating from 1925 with the first show broadcasted on Nashville station WSM – now a 50,000 watt radio station that still broadcasts the Friday and Saturday Opry shows and plays country music full time (including being able to listen live via the Internet). Sirius XM Radio Channel 59 (Willie’s Place) also broadcasts these shows on the weekends. Remarkably these shows have continued uninterrupted – through wars, even a major flood om 2010 in […]

The rooftop edges over dramatically – at its most precipitous drop, one would fall maybe 10 feet if they weren’t careful. There is no railing guarding the edge of the roof leading to the steps to the lower level. But one afternoon a gentleman showed up with his portable welder and began welding together a metal railing before ultimately installing it. We began chatting – his initial questions were about politics. Always a hook conversation starter possibly leading towards conflict but in our case, it only led to agreement. He […]

A strange article for me to write is “how cool” Nashville is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great city. In fact now, it’s possibly the hottest, growing city in the American South. It’s hip. It’s cool. People are moving there by the thousands from larger, more well-known cities such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Nashville is not only a travel mecca, but in fact a domestic mecca – a place where 30-somethings are congregating in hoards to settle-in and raise a family in a place that is increasing […]

Even if you’re not a fan of the style, there’s something about live country music in the actual country that makes it vastly entertaining. I’m not into country music, but last summer, atop a nearly 10,000-foot mountain under a Colorado sky bluer than any I’d ever seen before, with snow-dotted southern Rocky Mountains on the horizon and nothing but fresh air and great tunes all around, I converted in a hurry. At least for that day. The summer-long event, which this year runs into September, is the Mountain Rails Live […]
