Easy GPS directions to downtown Nashville. Underground parking (which ended up costing $30 @#$%). But the museum is top shelf. Nice history of how country music moved from folk / bluegrass in the early 1900's and morphed with blues and later more mainstream rock influences. Special Emmy Lou Harris exhibit and Waylon & Willie "Outlaws" section. Nashville is all about country music. After a couple/few hours at the museum, we walked around the block and down Broadway which is the main drag with lots of neon lights, honky tonks, and music playing from almost every doorway. And live music as well. All in the rain. (I did not bring a rain coat so we made a stop and purchased a Frogg Togg one, which is what I use for motorcycle trips).
The goal today was to make it to Memphis for the night and we tag teamed the driving playing tag with trucks on Rt 40. Dinner at a little local Mexican place and then went to see 'The Up Side" at a theater (with a giant pink elephant water sculpture in the lobby..)where we were the only people seeing any movie as far as we could tell. We are making good time and still getting some diversions in. Deb has mastered the cheap motel thing and is working up to having my coffee ready when I wake up, still working on that :)
