Happy New Year So Far (127)

Honky Tonkin in Nashville Tenn was fun at New Years and I imagine about any night of the week there is equally exciting. That was our New Years destination and it did not disapoint us. If you like country music and plenty of it, it is to be had there in downtown Nashville. Don't remember the street we were on but it was lined on both sides with clubs that all had country bands playing all those country favorites.

It is a fun scene for sure if you have never done it, do it sometime. I imagine its where a lot of singers get their start, playing these clubs for "tips" only and hoping to get discovered somehow before they starve to death...It was a fun night spent with Mark and Terry as we soaked up an evening full of country music....

Our host Jessica seen in the pic's should probably be proclaimed Nashville's "Rachel Ray", as she threw open her house and refrigerator and food pantry to the likes of all of us...sweet pea's brother Mark with help from the Dixie Chics brought forth a New Years Day dinner that would bring even downtrodden stock holders of the 2008 crash lots of Good Luck for 2009....I sure hope it works, as we ate all that stuff, corn beef and cabbage, blackeyed peas, cornbread, some kind of herring fish that was "yuck" and not sure what all...But we ate it anyway and we toasted the new year with Brown County and other wines...All went down good and stayed down...Lets hope it all works..actually "family" is always the best part.....HAPPY NEW YEARS TO "Y'ALL".....
