Jim and I were at the first show at The Listening Room Cafe when it opened in Nashville back in 2008. We were also at the very first Stories Behind The Songs show at The Listening Room Cafe last week. What can I say?... We like small, quaint places to see live music in and around the Nashville area. And we especially like The Listening Room Cafe. Chris Blair is the owner of The Listening Room Cafe. Chris Blair's Stories Behind The Songs is a FREE, weekly event that he's been … [Read more...]
Now this girl knows how to have a good time! The moment Mikalah Gordon stepped on stage at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville (at the season finale of Gone Country 2, airing on CMT in August '08), she had the crowd on their feet and cheers from every corner of the place. Not only was she the "hottest" chic in the competition this year, most of the guys in the front row were convinced she was the hottest thing in the building! She definitely got off to a good start, and she kept things … [Read more...]
Last night was the season finale for Gone Country 2. Actually, the series hasn't even started airing yet on CMT, but they were taping the final episode "live" at the Wildhorse Saloon. (Gone Country 2 airs on CMT beginning August 15, 2008 and the season wraps up on September 25, 2008.) We were there for the first season of Gone Country as well. That show's final taping was also at the Wildhorse Saloon. And I must say, it was kind of fun watching all of the episodes on CMT after seeing the … [Read more...]
Yep, another American Idol alum was there. Unfortunately, this shows you just how weak my camera's flash is... Or rather, how far away I was from Kellie Pickler at the taping of "Gone Country" at the Wildhorse Saloon. But some people might appreciate the photos... Kellie was seated upstairs in the left balcony. I was standing on the far right side of the stage, up front. I have to say, Miss Kellie Pickler was as sweet as can be. The minute someone from the dance floor spotted her … [Read more...]
Ask, and you shall receive... Diana DeGarmo's fans have been the most vocal, requesting to see her photos from the Gone Country taping at Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville. So here you go... I have to say, Diana's TV makeup played tricks on the camera a bit. She looked much better in person than some of these photos depict. Diana sang a slower song (...I think all of the girls sang ballads). The guys rocked the house, but the girls kept things low-key. Diana kicked it up a bit with … [Read more...]

Nashville is a hot spot for Reality TV contestants. Now's your chance to get on the TV show Deal or No Deal. Details below... … [Read more...]
Okay, I admit it. I watch American Idol ...sometimes. While I don't ever make a point to turn it on, if it happens to be on one of the channels as I'm clicking around channel-surfing, then I usually don't turn it off. Personally, I think that American Idol is just a socially-acceptable form of voyerism and public humiliation (...though I realize these people think they can sing). It's kind of like a bad car accident -- you can't help but look. But that doesn't make it right. So, if … [Read more...]
For some reason Tennessee, especially Nashville, has produced a representative sampling of Reality TV show contestants of late. … [Read more...]
