Interesting places to visit in Nashville?
I'm going to be visiting Nashville in the next week or so, and was wondering
what would be some interesting things to see in the musical/recording context. Good music stores, interesting venues, etc? John |

Good music stores, interesting venues, etc? If you like good songwriting and Don Schlitz happens to be at The Bluebird Cafe (he's there pretty often on "Don for a Dollar" nite) I HIGHLY suggest it. The most jaw dropping thing I've ever seen. Even if you don't like country I guarantee you'll know at least half a dozen of his songs. Three hours of nothing but hits. And the two he did that have never been cut were better than the hits. |

I think a cruise down Broadway would be more fun, alot more fun than that place. My wife got shhuushh'd there way back. If you're a guitar player Cottten Music has some nice high endy guitars in a mom & pop type atmosphere, 3rd & Lindsley's a cool club, Douglas Corner's funky. There's always Gruhn's although the guitars are better maintained at Cotten, tho a thousand less of them. it's pretentious, stuffy, and they don't even want you to talk while the songwriters are playing. yeah it is.

The only good thing about the Bluebird is their "shhhh!" policy. I actually
appreciate that. Other than that it's dripping with pretense. Some of the in the round stuff there will make you want to puke. "Look at me, look at me I'm a 'serious' songwriter." Try the Wooten Brothers at Third and Linsley on Wednesday nights for some unbelievable funk. And check out what's happening at the Station Inn for some great bluegrass. Also check out Hatch Show Print on Broadway. One of the last old concert poster letter press print shops around. Very cool...

Tomato bombardment gets their attention. -- ha |

Some of the in the round stuff there will make you want to puke. "Look at me, look at me I'm a 'serious' songwriter." I'd rather play in a biker bar.

And check out what's happening at the Station Inn for some great bluegrass. Except on Monday nights, when the Time Jumpers play some great Western Swing. Also check out Hatch Show Print on Broadway. One of the last old concert poster letter press print shops around. Very cool... If you're into historic stuff, both the Hermitage and the Belle Meade mansion are cool. If you're into gardens and artsy type stuff, Cheekwood is cool as well. If you're here on a weekend, the Opry is worth seeing, if only for the historical aspects... -- Dave Martin Java Jive Studio Nashville, TN www.javajivestudio.com |

I've seen some of the most pretentious funny stuff there too but the good songwriters (like Don) are worth it. Actually I find the cattle call writers nights fun in that "train wreck" sort of way. Not really laughing but amazed at what people will do in close quarters to be famous. |

Richard Smith is a phenominal gtr player. Cotten Music and gruhn and the Guitar Gal for guitars. Corner Music for almost everthing. Primal Gear and Blevins for Pro Audio. |

It's a pleasure to play a club where a noisy audience is not tolerated. I feel that the audience is paying the bills and therefore has the right to do as they please, modulo applicable legalities. What gets me is when the club interferes with performers. One of my bands used to play a club that actually paged it patrons for phone calls using a particularly bad sounding house "PA". This band's front man (not me!) was good at using dynamics to grab an audience's attention. Far too frequently the bartenders would ruin the moment with "PHONE CALL FOR JOE BLOW!
