April 12, 2008 Nashville - Country Music Hall of Fame

We went to the country music hall of fame today. Pothoo, we had a great time and think that you and mom should take a vacation here. There is music playing all the time- in every restaurant. We went into a few of the bars, one being The Stage and listened to some bands play but the music was too loud for Sienna's ears. We decided that until we could get her earplugs, we would have to wait on live music in that kind of venue.

Today a musician (David Andersen) came over to our table in the Museum Cafe and played a song for Sienna. She began clapping her hands and reaching out to the guitar. The musician was very impressed that she was clapping to the beat. He said that he has taught a lot of children and the hardest thing to teach is the rhythm and that it is better if it comes naturally. He was also intruiged by her interest in the guitar and music and allowed her to strum the guitar for a second. We were pleased of course, very pleased. http://www.davidandersenmusic.com/index.htm

Tonight we are sitting at home, very tired from a day's exploration. Sienna is sleeping and we probably will be soon.

Tomorrow we are going to the "Little Opry" Nashville Nighlife Dinner Theatre. It is located right next to our campground. It has been voted Nashville's #1 Dinner and a Show. The theme is "The Best of Country Music Show." More on that tomorrow.
