We went to the Country Music Hall of Fame with Jim's parents.
I must admit, while I didn't have the patience to listen to all of the audio tour, and read all of the highlights listed at each display... I thoroughly enjoyed the more "interactive" things like...
1. Watching the 2 separate "movies" that lasted about 25 minutes each. One was comedy-based, showing old TV commercials that featured Country music artists, as well as old TV clips from things like Hee Haw and Andy Griffith. The other was Tim McGraw based - he took us behind the scenes of how a concert comes to be... from hitting the road, to family life on the road, to play time, building the stage, eating, and more.
2. Seeing the actual clothing worn by certain "stars". It was neat to see different singers' favorite things that have been preserved.
3. Visiting "Studio B" on Music Row. They drove us in a separate tour bus to Music Row in Nashville where we got the rare opportunity to go inside the historic RCA Studio B -- the one-time recording home of Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, Roy Orbison, the Everly Brothers and many more. Inside the studio, we could take all the photographs we wanted! ...NOW we're talkin' fun.
What I Learned Today:
The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville pales in comparison to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. A couple years ago, Jim and I spent several hours touring the Rock Hall of Fame, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's much more diverse, and quadruple the size of the CMHF. There's certainly something for everyone at the RRHF.

I never been to the country music hall of fame and i defintely would like to go there someday when I visit Tennessee.
I really enjoyed the Studio B tour too! The guy we had leading the tour was really knowledgeable. I think he worked for Gray Line Bus Tours. I'm thinking of taking a "tour of the stars homes" with Gray Line too.
