Are there women and children readin' this? I thought this was a 'he-man' kind of deal. I'm around womens and chilrens all day. Man's gotta have a place to blog. Still want to know if that's some kind of a silly acronym, just too dang lazy to look into it. Don't have any good driving trips. Well, just one. The Talimena Scenic Ridgeway that goes West/East (or whatever way you want to go). It's down in the Quachita Mts. Mark and I went on it one time back in '58. Crazy times...
You can get on it on the Oklahoma side a little south of Pouteau, OK. Takes you from Talihena, OK to Mena, AR. A kind of hidden Blue Ridge Parkway, though not quite as awe-inspiring as that Eastern trail, but still ding-dang beautiful. You will not believe you're in OK. And Trails for Hikin'! Mucho vistas!
Will continue Favorite Haunts/Fond Music Memories. This time, Nashville! Music Business City!
Noshville Deli: Real, New York Deli selling traditional N.Y.C. Deli items to tourists, Vandy and Belmont kids, and music business transplants from L.A. who miss their 'Real N.Y.C. Deli's' in L.A. Not as pricey as you might think.
Jack's Guitar Bar on Nolensville Rd-an RIP. Place was great. Jack was psychotically adamant that everyone play originals. Yelled at me in front of everyone when I played a Joe Ely song one night. Think of it, club owner pissed 'cause you didn't play your own tunes. He put up Mr.Earle during his 'skinny/sleepy' period and Steve's little sister Stacey really got the place going.
Centennial Park: real nice park with a Parthenon in it!
Tower Records: not quite as cool as it was in the early '90's when the Independent Artist was given a bit more lip service with in-stores and huge cardboard advertisements of folks who have probably never played on the western side of the Mississippi, but still pretty good.
Blackstone Brewery: Very, very, nice. Wife loves it!
Any of the new, family-owned, Mexican restaurants that came about during the mid-90's due to Nashville's building boom. All good.
Who Hit John-Nashville's own Replacements, 'cept a little more melodic, but with the same heart and punch. Simply one of the best bands most people will never see.
Without Ruth-another Nashville mid-90's contribution to excellence in rock and roll. Can't really cite a reference to 'em and that's one of the reasons I loved 'em.
The Swinging Steaks' showcase set at NEA in 1995, Nashville's attempt at SXSW. Great roots rock band from Boston, yes, I know, an oxymoron, but nonetheless a truly blistering set. They'd already put out a great album on Capricorn in 1993 and were already searchin' for the new, big, deal that never came.
All for now. Take Care, Jeffrey G. s
