Off to the country...



 I traveled to Nashville, Tennessee this last week - the air travel was "uneventful" - just the way I like it :) It doesn't really matter where I go as I carry my sketch book with me and I enjoy drawing from the life scenes around me. The downtown area of Nashville on Broadway and some of the streets that intersect Broadway are clustered all manner of restaurants, souvenir shops - but there are also closely packed establishments with arguably the best of Country (folk) music for public consumption that is available anywhere. Lot's of excitement and energy.

One of the performers that we enjoyed was a quite personable singer/song writer by the name of Dave Cox. The bands worked for tips only. That meant that tip containers were front and center, and the more adventurous musicians venturing out into the audiences for contributions. All the music was truly impressive.
