In doing my research for our Nashville trip, I read about the Ernest Tubb Record Shop and put it on my must-see list. Unlike the Country Music Hall of Fame, there's nothing shiny and glitzy here! You'll not find anything state-of-the-art at all! What you will find is every country and bluegrass artist's recordings imaginable.
Even though I loved the old TV show "Hee Haw", I'm not much of an old-timey country music fan. Watching the show, I did come to know some of country music's greats and I'm still able to recognize them by their face, name, and music. In doing my research for our Nashville trip, I read about the Ernest Tubb Record Shop and put it on my must-see list. Unlike the Country Music Hall of Fame, there's nothing shiny and glitzy here! You'll not find anything state-of-the-art at all! What you will find is every country and bluegrass artist's recordings imaginable. Before it moved to the Opryland location, the Midnight Jamboree radio show was broadcast from the back of the store. Founded by legendary country music artist Ernest Tubb, the country music shop has been providing country, gospel, and bluegrass products ever since. And the shop specializes in hard to find videos, cassettes, CDs, and books as well. It has the smell of an old department store...maybe because it's been there since 1947. It's also been the meeting place for country music fans, stars, and tourists like me ever since! I'll wrap this extra week of Nashville Postcards up tomorrow with one last set of photos and stories. As always, thanks for stopping by and "y'all come back now, ya hear?"

The start of our vacation kept me from being able to read all my postcards of your Nashville trip . . . So I started over and read them all through tonight. Great stuff and great pics. Nashville is always worth the time and effort!
