The Nashville area has many theatres and stages
where professional country music performers entertain most nights. It
seems as though every singer, guitarist, drummer, fiddle player, and
bass player appearing at these places has years of experience touring
all over the world with famous performers. We went to one of these
performances every night of the week. |

Every third or fourth building in the main
downtown area is a bar with an open door and music pouring out into the
street. The music starts in the early afternoon and continues until late
at night every day. Inside, a group hoping to be discovered performs on
a small stage for free, just for tips. In many places you can walk in
and listen with no obligation to buy anything. |

The Wildhorse Saloon has one of the most famous
professional stages, but we like the statues of horses and other animals
all around the building. We’ve had a picture on our refrigerator of Jack
at the bar with a horse since we first visited Nashville 14 years
earlier, so we had to go there again this week to take new pictures. |
