Trip to the CMA Awards in Nashville

We are home now. What a fun trip! The funny part is we were interviewed and three people came up to us to congratulate us because they recognized us from being on television (Channel 2, the Nashville ABC affiliate). You can see our interview .
We flew in on Tuesday, Nov. 9th, stayed at The Renaissance Hotel, did the Nashville tourist routine :-)  , went to a private show with Josh Thompson and Montgomery Gentry performances, got interviewed by tv folk twice, went to the CMA Awards show and post party and then flew home today. It was so much fun! Many thanks to Greased Lightning and CMA for this fabulous gift!

We saw the Josh Thompson/Montgomery Gentry private acoustic performances at the Ford Theater in the Hall of Fame Museum. They were great!

                                          Legends was just one of the famous
Broadway honky tonks we visited.  One group we really enjoyed
watching there Tuesday night was Barefoot Renegades.




  After reading that Razz had eaten 
at The Palm, we checked it out and
had a delicious lunch.                                                                                                                      

                                                                         We passed the Ryman
                                                                          many a time.

                                                               Our second interview was here

We got a tip from Jerry about Dierks' sound check
the day before his GMA appearance.

                                                                        Our seats at the CMA Awards show afforded us an interesting perspective of some behind the scenes set-ups as well as the performances themselves.




   The after party was very cool with great food!
