Diameter? 1/2"



Really? Those music venues aren't family-friendly restaurants too? Maybe up till a certain hour? Either way, my music loving kids will most likely dig Nashville even if they don't get to experience all of it.

Most of them are just bars. But IIRC from last time I went, they are family friendly up to a certain hour… but it seems like the good bands don't go on till later.
Definitely a good trip though!

Joe Fick is a monster! Been a pal for many years. Luke McCreary is incredible and just turned 17. Guitar hero in the making, for sure! The drummer is Matt Bohli. He played drums on the last Eskimo Brothers record. Our singer/guitarist plays a couple times a week with Joe and Matt. Great guys too.

Got home from tour last night after driving 700 miles, unpacked the van, poured a glass of red wine, chased the girl around the house for a few minutes and crashed hard for 7 glorious hours! Just made coffee and gotta split for a rehearsal with Prayer Flags in 90 minutes. Have a gig with Derek Hoke tonight and Prayer Flags tomorrow. Looking forward to a full day of nothing to do and nowhere to go, but that won’t happen until Friday :/

I go for the spelling and pronunciation. It makes me feel far more normal when they look at me funny after I say something like "Ima gawn mosey awn up'uh pike a piece f'm'vittles." They talk funny, too. English is a funny language. I sat next to an Egyptian on an airplane and had a long discussion about how amusing accents were in Arabic and how amusing they were in English. She described the regional dialects in the Middle East and how Egyptians couldn't make head or tail of some of the other regional dialects. Those dialects may as well be different languages, not Arabic. She said she had a good time traveling around the US with her American husband, listening to all the dialects. She thought New Yorkers were pretty tough, so I gave her a concentrated dose of pure Carolina hill twang. The look on her face was priceless.

Point being that between the US and Canada, we have it pretty good. We speak the same language and can even understand each other most of the time. Even if Canadian bacon is what the English call bacon and what we eat is what the English call streaky bacon. I have that from a reliable source.
