Travellinbaen’s up in Nashville today waiting on a meeting to end. We drove up last night in the misting rain, but the sun came up this morning and brightened up this trip considerably. The morning revealed our hotel’s prime location. I’m looking down on the Ryman Auditorium and I can see the Titans’ stadium a few blocks away. Since TB’s travellin with a tot, goin out to hear tunes and general carousin is not a possibility. We’re trying to decide whether to drive two hundred miles to cruise the Smokies, a bit less than that to see the Bluegrass and Keeneland, to crawl back through north Alabama and Birmingham, or to find something here in Music City. There wasn’t any time for planning, obviously.

Any suggestions?
