Country music
by Paul McGowan
There's all kinds of country music. Most of what I hear on the radio isn't worth listening to. But the real music, the weepy, heartfelt, jazzy riffs, the fiddles, pedal steel guitar, the talent—the music you hear so rarely—touches my soul like few other forms of music.
Especially if it's live.
We decided to head to Nashville to see what its music scene is like. What an unexpected pleasure.
Instead of big and expensive venues, nasty bouncers, and restrictive prohibitions on behavior, folks down south like their music up front, accessible and friendly. We were fortunate to get tickets to a sold out show at a small bar and grille in downtown Nashville, called 3d and Lindley. $20 a ticket to see Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers, some of the best musicians I have had the pleasure of listening to, with a big plus added in. Good sound. Really good sound.
Wow.
I took a not very good video from our upper deck vantage point and offer it here. Enjoy.
