Nashville...#2

Yahoo, Buckeroos! We just returned from a night at the Grand Ole Opry...and what a show. On stage were Riders In The Sky, Jim Ed Brown, George Hamilton IV, and some newer stars that really had the camera phones of the young ladies in the audience popping. It was a great way to wrap up two wonderful days in Nashville. Last night we had dinner with an old boss and good friend, Jerry Norman and his lovely wife, Nancy. We had some of the best catfish and "fixin's" that you will find anywhere. Jerry also gave us a terrific tour of downtown Nashville and the world famous Music Row which is were Jerry's company is based. This morning we headed out to The Hermitage...the home of Andrew Jackson. This was a tour that we will not soon forget. So much history in this lovely home and surrounding acreage. The tour included personal audio units that would give you intricate details of all that we were seeing...each room in the house and the surrounding buildings as well as the history of the people who lived at and worked this large estate. Jackson's wife Rachel loved to work in the garden which is kept today in beautiful shape. A lovely home...and a slice of history not soon forgotten. We have thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here in Music City and look forward to returning.
