Yee'haw!

I love country music. Not just country music but it's what I listen to most of the time.

So naturally, I love Nashville Tennessee. It really is Music City. Monday we drove on down so I could go to the “We’re All For the Hall” concert on Tuesday night. We really crammed A LOT into a day and a ½.  Since we’re all about give and take, our first stop was the Lane Motor Museum. We’ve been before but they get new things all the time.

 look at this lil' cutie - like it should be in "Cars"

I like all the different badges though;

There were plenty more but I know most of you aren't gear heads :-)

Tuesday was super duper busy! First up was the Ryman Auditorium - the original Grand Ole Opry.
It was amazing! The history of the place is really something. First of all, it's over a hundred years old. Second, anybody who was anybody played/performed at the Opry. Not just country music artist but everybody! It's incredible to be standing at that stage and think, Teddy Roosevelt, President Taft, Helen Keller, Houdini, Mae West, Caruso and Will Rogers stood on this stage. Then the Grand Ole Opry moved in! Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and the list goes on.

Then we went to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Just as much fun the second time around :-)
Oh, and last time, you know I complained that Garth Brooks wasn't in there...he is now!!!

And now to the main event - the concert! Oh my gosh! It was FANTASTIC! I might go every year! This years theme was "Rebels and Renegades" Right up my alley for sure! Hosted by Keith Urban and Vince Gill;

There's Montgomery Gentry - they're a good party duo with a reputation

And Trace Adkins, a big, big man! He's had a hard life. He also has "the voice of God", deep and booming. He sang, Fishin' and Ladies Love Country Boys

And Hank Williams Jr. Talk about a rebel! He's mellowed a lot as he's gotten older.

And Willie Nelson. Still a renegade. And at almost 80, he's still out there having a great time! He sang, On the Road Again and Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.

Kris Kristofferson. Also getting older for sure but still having a lot fun for an old rebel.

And Kid Rock and Jason Aldean and Eric Church and Rosanne Cash and Jesse Colter and Brantly Gilbert and Tim McGraw!

The best energy came from Jason Aldean and Tim McGraw (sang I'm a Real Good Man) - who is smokin' hot by the way!
I don't get the whole Sheryl Crow thing though. I mean, she's ok but what's the big deal about her???? Oh, and Kid Rock? Country? Whatever. He was having a great time though so that counts in my book.
It was a really great couple of days!
