Franklin / Nashville BasicsTravel

Virtually everything under the sun you could EVER want to know about the city of Nashville can be found in this one location!

Since there was an LPGA golf tournament in town this past weekend, they had the traffic routed just right -- so (thankfully) it was barely noticeable. And we weren't the only ones out there riding around on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. All the motorcycles were enjoying the great outdoors too!

Here a little about radio talk show host, Dawson McAllister and his show for teens, plus info about my favorite talk radio station: Real Radio 104.1 out of Orlando, Florida. The station features commentary from Monsters in the Morning, The Shannon Burke Show, and the Phillips Phile.

I've narrowed down the absolute best resources for gathering information about cars, computers, electronics, cameras, the news, consumer reviews, and so on. Here's where I get ALL my timely, news-breaking information!

A photo summary of our night at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to see Dylan Altman -- he has a few hits on the radio with Trace Adkins and Tim McGraw; Sean 'Turk' McNamara -- an Irish Pub 'regular' kinda guy; Morry Trent -- more of a songwriter than a singer, but every word comes straight from the heart; Johnny Reid -- a Canadian superstar who's now making it big in the States; and Franky Perez -- one to watch for.

Before we moved to Nashville on April 25, 2001, Jim and I took 2 trips there. The first one was just a regular vacation to Chattanooga and to Nashville a few months before we were married. The next one was a trip to Nashville several months after we were married to make sure it was a place that we would enjoy living. Nashville definitely made a good first impression on us, and we ended up moving there 5 months after our 2nd visit. These photos show some of the things we did when we visited Nashville twice during the time that we lived in Pensacola, Florida.

Jeffrey Steele is one of our favorite songwriters of all time. Plus, he's a great performer to watch... especially in small venues where you're up close and personal with this energetic character! Here's our best stuff about Jeffrey Steele

Craig Wiseman doesn't have an official website. Judging from our hits on a daily basis, this site might be serving as Craig Wiseman's official homepage! Check out our personal photos of songwriter Craig Wiseman performing in and around Nashville.

Well, well... it looks like the "new neighbors" who moved in next door to us are none other than big-time Canadian singer/songwriter Johnny Reid, along with his beautiful wife and two adorable young sons!...

We went to the Bluebird Cafe for an 'in the round' line-up of songwriters that we could not pass up: Tony Mullins, Craig Wiseman, Bob DiPiero, and Jeffrey Steele. Here are photo highlights...

I (like most Americans) spent this entire last week SICK. Jim got this bug worse than I did, but I'm home re-couping today. (...and it's such a beautiful day outside too, darn it!) Nonetheless, I managed to happen upon some...

Like we have every time over the past 4 years that we've been trying to get pregnant, we ended with: 'Well, if it was meant to be, it will be. Let's just leave it at that.'

The Pepsi/iTunes special is officially over (...sniff, sniff). So, unless you happen upon an "old" bottle of Pepsi product lying around on the store shelf, you won't be finding anymore "lucky winners" these days. That, my friends, means that our...

I just realized that these "What I Learned This Week" posts sometimes take the form of "What I Think You'd Want To Know About Us This Week" instead. Such is life... It's a great way for us to update our...
