While visiting Nashville Tennessee last weekend, we walked along Music Row in the downtown area. We walked beside the famous Ryman Auditorium and wished we could see inside but it was too late in the day and they were closed for tours. We continued our walk to the Country Music Hall of Fame which was also closed. You must get an early start if you want to visit the sights in Nashville. That is unless you want to listen to music and be part of the night life. The Ernest Tubbs Record Shop is a quaint shop that made me feel as if I went back in time. They have a great selection of hard to find country albums and tons of local live performance recordings as well. The walls are covered with old photos of country music’s finest recording artists. I loved learning that Loretta Lynn sang in that shop. She had to stand on a box so the fans at the front of the store would stop shouting that they were unable to see her.
