I woke up Friday morning in Michigan and we were in Nashville by dark. What are the chances we are going to see Kid Rock accept the honorary plaque on Music City Walk of Fame tomorrow?
Well, if nothing else it's been a great weekend in a wonderful city... I got my fill of Southern hospitality and food (sweet tea, too).
I love Tennessee, and yes, the natives are very friendly. Nashville itself has grown so much over the years, many transplants related to the music industry, of which aren't as friendly as the natives though. I enjoy the outer suburban areas of Nashville...beautiful country drives while cranking up the stereo! Cumberland River area specifically...Lebanon, TN, etc..
Did you drive to Nashville specifically to see Kid honored at the Music Walk of Fame? If so, I sure hope you do get to see him honored. I'm assuming he will be there, as that's quite an honor, and also beneficial for him relating to publicity.
Made the drive to get out of town and do something fun with my 4 year old son. When I read here about the honorary ceremony, it was the furthest I wanted to drive for a weekend trip. Plus, it'sa high of 76 with clear, blue skies and I'm going to soak in the Vitamin D before we hybernate in Michigan winter. I hope to see Dolly and Kid Rock today.
Have fun! I was going to make the drive down to Nashville for the award show and to see him get honored and experience the warmer weather just once more this year. Are you staying until wed. to go to the CMA music awards?
Yeah, we have the same warm front here, was in the 80's yesterday! Feels about the same today! Kind of hard for me to get busy putting up Christmas decor when the weather is this warm, haha. Know what you mean about soaking up the sunshine too, I need to absorb the sun's natural serotonin! Keeps energy up with shorter days!
Still...I envy you Northerners with your amount of snowfalls in the Winter...we rarely get many heavy pretty snows like we did years ago, with so called global warming. I love snow, as long as I can stay inside that is, haha.
Keeping fingers crossed you get to see Kid & Dolly! Dolly ROCKS!
Would love to stay here until Wednesday, but reality is I have to be at work in 18 hours (lol). I figured the chances are better to see Kid today since it's so close to the CMA's.
Loving biscits & jam, fried chicken, and sweet tea at Loveless Cafe... Yummy! I'll post if we see Kid and post pictures in a day or so. Feeling very blessed today!
I love the Loveless Cafe, very good food. I've been their a few times when I've visited Nashville. It is named after the owners of the cafe; Lon and Annie (I thought it was connected to Patty Loveless so I asked last time I was their.)
Really hope to get to see Kid, can't wait to see pictures!
What a great road trip!!! Left Nashville at 5 and rolled in to bed at 2:30 this am. I was about 20 feet from the stage and we got to see all the inductees - including Kid Rock and Dolly. I'll post pictures later today, Off to work first.
