These are some hats that were for sale at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop downtown Nashville. The cowboy hats were placed on the floor. The baseball cap in the middle reads: I'd like to check you for ticks. ...only in Nashville, right?Thanks, Brad Paisley! :-D … [Read more...]
Well, last weekend was the Franklin Rodeo. My son and I, along with several friends, loaded up the car and headed on over to the Williamson County Agricultural Expo Center last Friday night. I’m no cowgirl, but I did put my hair up in 2 pony tails and wore jeans… it was the best I knew how to do. … [Read more...]
I’m so excited about the Franklin Rodeo! Every year I miss going, but I’m determined to be there this go-around. My 7-½ year old son (Will) is looking forward to it, and his good friend from preschool is coming along as well. He is a cowboy fanatic and has been since I can remember. Will, on the other hand, not so much the cowboy… more like a Star Wars trooper and athlete. Anyway, festivities will begin this Friday, with a party and auction at the Franklin Factory. … [Read more...]
I've been adding bits & pieces to my growing collection of "crazy cowboy things" for quite awhile now... Yesterday, a visitor to this site sent me Bud Light's Real Men of Genius ad for "Mr. Exotic Cowboy Boot Wearer". So I guess now seems as good a time as any to share my collection of funny cowboy stuff. Enjoy! Did You Know?... Bandera, Texas is the Cowboy Capital of the World. You Are So Nashville If... You were a gay cowboy before being a gay cowboy was … [Read more...]
We attended the opening night of Nashville Star 4 tonight. (If you're not familiar with it, Nashville Star is part talent contest, part popularity contest, and part Reality TV show.) We went mostly for the novelty of it... (and for the ability to see Big & Rich, Two-Foot-Fred, Wynonna, Cowboy Troy, and each of the talented contestants perform -- for FREE!) We also happened to attend a "live" taping of Nashville Star two years ago -- the year that Brad Cotter won. Here's a comparison … [Read more...]
I've written about other's opinions of Nashville, Tennessee -- including tourists, college students, and seminar/convention visitors. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience Music City, USA through the eyes of a child? Come along, as we explore Nashville, Tennessee from the perspective of a 6-year-old... A Kid's-Eye-View A few weeks ago, Jim's brother, Steve, and his little whiz kid, Dylan, spent the weekend with us in Nashville. … [Read more...]
Prompted by the Nashville Scene's annual You Are So Nashville If... series, I set out to see how others (namely, tourists) view Nashville these days. I'm always interested to hear what others have to say about Nashville when they come to visit. I can't help but think there are a number of stereotypes out there which just don't do the city justice, and it's not until you've actually BEEN here that you realize, Nashville's a pretty cool place to be! Perhaps the most common stereotype: … [Read more...]
This weekend marks the much-hyped Franklin Rodeo. It is said that hundreds of out-of-town cowboys have made their way to Franklin, Tennessee for this event. I don't exactly get it. I probably won't be attending. But I am way into all the cool marketing for it! Check this out... This Little Piggy Goes To Rodeos First and foremost, I've gotta give props to the Franklin Pig. … [Read more...]
These are some of our favorites that have appeared in The Scene's annual listing. You Are So Nashville If... You helped make "Dixie Chicked" a verb. --Joe Scutella You started a prayer circle at church that the Titans keep Eddie George. --Jennifer Castleman You've driven down Music Row listening to a CD full of illegally downloaded songs. --Zack Bennett You know where all the country music stars live. --Unknown Your church congregation is referred to as … [Read more...]
