Nashville Sunday

After a leisurely breakfast served by an Englishman we went out to the Johnny Cash museum. This is a relatively new venue here in Nashville but like all the similar things we have been to, it is very well done. There is a lot of interactive material, the story is well told from birth to death & the music of Cash & others of the era is great. Whilst I wouldn’t claim to be a huge fan of Cash I can now appreciate his life & music much more. Doug was in his element remembering concerts of his youth. I certainly remember seeing Cash in Belfast on the Highwaymen tour, & having a great night. The bit I really enjoyed was the tribute to Sun studios & old footage of Carl Perkins, Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison & Elvis Presley.

The weather here is very warm & humid but a little overcast. When the sun does come out it is very hot. Rain has been forecast but so far so good. There are plenty of tourists around but I suspect that Sunday is less busy than Saturday. When we came back last night from the Grand Ole Opry, Broadway (the happening street) was jumping. No doubt we will venture downtown tonight to eat.
