We decided to head to downtown Nashville today, after one of the ladies at our table last night shared about some good places to hit, ones that had bands starting as early as 10 a.m., so after snapping some photos of our cool hotel & jamming on the giant guitar, we headed out for more fun!
Yikes!! A spaceship landed on a building downtown!!
Kasey and Elvis had a thang going on!
We spent about 2 hours here at Tootsie's Bar, listening to the great group!
Hey, it's 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE, right?? *G*
A lot of country singers got their start here at Tootsie's. It was rumored that Roger Miller wrote the song "Dang Me" here. Willie Nelson got his first songwriting job after singing at Tootsies. Charlie Pride gave Tootsie a jeweled hatpin as a gift and she used it to stick unruly patrons. Several movies and TV Shows have also been filmed on location at Tootsies! The walls are covered with hundreds of photos, some so old they are yellowed and tattered.
A bit down the street was The Stage, we stopped for lunch & to listen to another talented singer perform. He did really well with the popular country songs, and had a couple of songs he wrote himself which were excellent too! Maybe we can say, when he is famous, that we saw him when he was first starting out too? *L* But, unfortunately, we forgot what his name was?
After a short power nap in the car, we headed on down the road to Chattanooga....
We had a little rain, but it ended up being beautiful, 86 degrees, and nice drive!
