| Ryman Auditorium - by Jessica Blankenship |
Back about a month ago, I took two mini-vacations to
Nashville. It is one of those places
that you can visit multiple times and see something new. I'll try to break up my trip in different
posts to describe each place. On my
first trip, I went with one of my cousins to the "Embroidery Craft
Mart" or something another like that. Basically it was dealers of the big
machines that sew, embroider, and do all kinds of neat things. I rocked my Blackberry Smoke shirt and had
someone to ask if that was my business name. Only in Nashville. At one point, one of the sales guys was going
over this machine how it could sew stuff, has a laser, and I have no clue what
else but I was leaned up against the table.
My cousin asked how much it was and my mouth dropped when he told of a
price that was more than a brand new Chevy Silverado. And that was without the fancy dancy software
to make all the cool shapes and designs. Oh my.

| Legends Corner on Broadway - By Jessica Blankenship |
After we left there, we landed on Broadway so my cousin
could get a piece of Nashville - honky tonk central. We made it over to Paradise Park Trailer
Resort. She got the burger & fries
and I grabbed myself a grilled cheese "sammich" and sweet tater fries. It was delicious and oddly enough for it to
be a Friday, it was pretty empty. In fact, most of Broadway was empty in the
middle of the day. Got to love back to
school season. I did grab myself a souvenir
t-shirt to wear later.

| Me with Hip Hillbilly Chick at Ernest Tubb Record Shop |
Once our bellies were full, we headed to Ernest Tubb
Record Shop and got to meet the one and only Hip Hillbilly Chick, my pal Billy.
Sweet gal and full of laughs. She
graciously took her time and found the one cd that I've been looking for a
while - Nick 13. Needless to say I was
tickled pink when she found it. It was
also rather cool seeing Judd Film's produced DVD of Charlie Louvin on a display
up at the front counter. Do yourself a
favor and grab a copy. You cannot beat
the personalized customer service that you get at Ernest Tubb Record Shop in
downtown Nashville. They are pretty much
guaranteed to have that long lost album you want.

I'll close for now...but be on the lookout for more on
our adventures in Nashville.
