Every month on this trip, it has been our custom to introduce to our followers some of those extraordinarily friendly people we have encountered along the way. Here is our list for Nashville;
Rachel is the receptionist for the Country Musicians Hall of Fame. She took a great interest in our travels and made several suggestions about things we should try to see in Nashville.
In an earlier post, we had mentioned that Jay McDowell, the Multimedia curator for the Country Musicians Hall of Fame, had invited us to join a private tour he was giving for 2007 Inductee Gene Chrisman. Here is Jay pointing to a picture of Chrisman standing behind Elvis during their recording session of "Suspicious Minds."
The Ernest Tubb Record Shop is in the heart of the honky tonk section of Broadway. Gloria, who made us feel right at home, has been working in the store for 38 years.
We ran into fellow Bostonians Hannah and Lauren at the Johnny Cash Museum.
While touring the Ryman Auditorium, we met Lucy, a professional photographer.
Fellow travelers Lyndis and Chris (from England) sat next to us at the Cafe Lula in the Ryman Auditorium complex. We enjoyed listening to their travel stories.
Amy, the very friendly and helpful ticket seller at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The extremely energetic and enthusiastic George provided us a fun-filled tour of RCA' s famous Studio B recording venue.
While trying to figure out how to gain entrance to the Downtown Presbyterian Church (noted for its Egyptian style ache texture), we stopped into the Bed & Bunches Florist Shop next door and had a great conversation with Amelia.
Stopping in at the Nashville Visitors Center on Broadway is a great place to gather information about what to see and how to get there. Rachel and Randy were very helpful.
Dianne, Director of Communications for Christ Church Cathedral, provided us with a personal tour of this magnificent church with its Tiffany stained glass windows.
