Hi all
Monday was a get up and go day.
Breakfast, walk the dogs and meet up with Tony.
Tony Cochran, owner of Lawman Enterprises, was our personal tour guide. We had a great day seeing the sights and listening to stories from a man that has been there and done that. Tony is retired area law enforcement and spent many years providing security at the Grand ol' Opry and the Stars.
Not only did he show us the many sights of Nashville, he had stories of stars and and Nashville scene.
Many personal stories of contacts with so many recording artists I, for one, lost track of who and where. We may not have been the best audience Tony has ever had, we just flat out enjoyed our laid back time with Tony.
Should you find yourself in Nashville and want a great introduction to Nashville and places to go for further exploration, Tony is the man and we thoroughly enjoyed our "2 hour tour" which in our case took 4 hours. So much to see and do.
We got to see where some of the stars reside, such as the gate to Garth Brooks' home.
Lefty Frizzell's resting place, along with others such as "Stringbean".
Then we headed downtown.
So many sights and not always good for a photo, so just some highlights.
Hall of Fame
Music Row
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville
The Hermitage
The Hermitage men's bathroom, Top Men's Bathroom in the US.
The Parthenon
Musica Statue
Tootsie's Orchid Lounge Alley entrance.
A service we did not need.
Entrance area to Dollar General World Headquarters. Frolicking bears.
Millie posing at the Bluebird Cafe, artists such as Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, Kathy Mattea, Trisha Yearwood, Kim Richey, Dierks Bentley, Faith Hill and Vince Gill, all of whom have had career moments over the past 31 years at the tiny, legendary club.
Then off to see other homes and places. Again Tony made our day and we sure enjoyed his company.
Our last adventure was Conway Twitty's home.
Then home to the BWB for a well deserved nap, trip to purchase food for the fur kids, home to a glass of wine and supper.
Our day was great.
Make your day great, too!
Tom and Millie
