Meredith asked about the best Chinese restaurants in the Brentwood / Cool Springs / Franklin area.
I’ve been meaning to write about this for awhile, so Meredith, this one’s for you…

Why I Don’t Mind Spending $106.00 For 2 Tickets To The Grand Ole Opry or Ryman Auditorium
Jim and I have been to the Grand Ole Opry Show more times than I can count. And I’m not even that much of a fan of Country music. I like music in general, but very few CDs in my collection are of the Country genre. (Jim’s collection is a whole ‘nother story.) Sure, I like a lot of individual songs performed by various Country artists, but rarely enough to buy a whole CD of ’em.
That said, I also wasn’t introduced to Bluegrass and Folk and other forms of music like that until I moved to Nashville with Jim 7 years ago.
So why in the world would I want to go to the Grand Ole Opry so much, you ask? And how do I justify spending upwards of $50 a ticket for the experience?
Here’s the scoop…
The Hitmen Of Music Row: Jeffrey Steele, Bob DiPiero, Tony Mullins, And Craig Wiseman
I guess you could say, ‘We knew them when.’
Well, not really… These guys (Jeffrey Steele, Bob DiPiero, Tony Mullins and Craig Wiseman) wouldn’t be able to pick Jim and I out in a crowd or anything. But we feel like we knew them way back when — before they were ‘famous’.
Which really isn’t fair to say either, because these guys were Rockin’ & Rollin’ and singin’ the Blues looonnng before our first time seeing them perform together as a group at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.
We’ve actually seen each of these amazing songwriters performing individually (or sometimes, or with one or another of The Hitmen) several times at various places in and around Nashville, Tennessee.
And thanks to the GAC channel, you probably have a better appreciation for these guys and their music, too. (Not to mention their amazing — and offbeat — sense of humor!)
I was just searching around the Internet for their schedule. I was hoping we might be able to catch the 4 of them performing as The Hitmen of Music Row somewhere soon.
Then I figured that I may as well share all of the cool sites and information I found with everyone here…
