Nashville Cats

"Play cool as country water...

Been playin since they'se babies...

Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville...."

That's what the Lovin' Spoonful said back in the sixties.

But today there are an estimated 30,000 songwriters living here.

Probably even more guitar pickers....
They're on every street corner in the entertainment district.
Their quality varies widely.

We went "honky tonkin" on Nashville's Broadway...

joined in on a "holler and swaller"... at Legends Corner Bar

In case you don't know, the "holler and swaller" involves a long yell and a long drink.
and
by the way,
we're definitely not in Massachusetts anymore...
We were sitting having our drink and see three kids (maybe 10 - 12 years old)
selling candy bars for some kind of fundraiser.
This in a bar! Not a restaurant!
Of course if you want to sell things and can do so to people drinking...
Later on at another place I notice a sign that children are not allowed in after 6pm.
and....
everywhere in Memphis and Nashville are signs that you can't bring your gun(s) into the bar.
very interesting that they have to post this....
