If you like Country music and Christmas music, then the CMA Country Christmas show is for you. If you like Christmas music but not Country music, you may or may not enjoy this show. (There are a couple of performances by mainstream artists.) If you like Country music but not Christmas music, this show is most likely not for you. Let me explain... … [Read more...]
Much like Alan Jackson's home, I can't count the number of times I've been to George Jones' house. Like thousands of others, we visited the home of George and Nancy Jones during the Christmas holidays each year. Their Christmas light display was truly amazing. And if friends were in town, we made a point to take them as well. It was one of the highlights on our holiday lights tour around Nashville. George Jones recently put his Williamson County home up for sale (4025 Nestledown … [Read more...]
First, I just have to say how much I love the new setup at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville! In the past, there was a tiny stage and a cramped interior. Now, there's a huge stage, a private entrance next to the stage for the musicians, and plenty of seats -- all with great seats from all angles -- including stage left, stage right, and balconies! 3rd and Lindsley has always been one of my favorite small clubs to see live music, but now it definitely ranks #1. If you haven't been there … [Read more...]
Jim and I usually only go to the downtown Nashville bars for music & drinks whenever out-of-town guests are in town. Maybe if we lived closer, we would go more frequently. But we've always lived south of Nashville -- first in Franklin. And now in Spring Hill. To be honest, I’m not all that interested in watching cover bands (which is what you find in some of the Nashville bars). With the amazing quality of musicians, singers, and songwriters that we have here in Nashville, Jim and … [Read more...]
Soon after we moved to Nashville in 2001, Jim made a point to take me to one of Nashville's most popular places for breakfast: the Pancake Pantry! He had lived in Nashville before, and he also took a lot of business trips here with his previous jobs, so Jim was very familiar with this historic restaurant. One way he enticed me to go was by telling me about all of the Nashville celebrities who dine there. Most recently, Jim took clients to the Pancake Pantry for breakfast and they … [Read more...]
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...]
We live in Nashville. Last night, we attended the CMT Awards show. No, not the CMA awards. And not the ACM Awards either. (If you ask me, it's easy to get them all confused.) This is the one that precedes the CMT Music Festival each June. We scored some press passes this year! Here's how things went at the 2010 CMT Music Awards show and some of the unique things that I saw this year... … [Read more...]

The festival is put on by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County.

I guess we'll have to find another Nashville celebrity home to take the lead spot in our informal "Tour of the Stars Homes" that we take visitors on when they visit Nashville for the first time. Sadly, Alan Jackson's 19,000 square-foot home is now for sale. His house has been the highlight of our tour for many years. Asking Price Alan Jackson and wife Denise have said that they've been wanting to downsize, but it wasn't until recently that they put their house up for sale. … [Read more...]
