Last day in Nashville

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum polarised my thinking on country music. I realised I really like the very early stuff and the more modern which brings in the rock beat but middle of the road cowboy and yodeling leaves me cold so sorry Jim Reeves but you'll have to go, pun intended.
The full sized replica of the Parthenon here in Nashville (who knew) took a good couple of hours to go around and all for $6, bargain. Well worth a Google if not a visit. As you can imagine I have lots more photos.

I caught a brilliant Texas band in the Tequilla Cowboy last night which was fortunate as I was refused entry to a number of establishments 'cos I couldn't prove I was over 21 - passport in my room. I am going down again tonight. Friday night  should be lively.

I didn't know 

This amused me because of the street it is on,
I think you have to be a certain age to remember
Lunch today was at the famous Loveless Cafe, waiting times for a table were one and a half hours so I took mine to go. The food was good but I wouldn't go out of my way for the experience, though it is near the terminus of the Natchez Trace so could fit in quite well.

Pigeon Forge and Dollywood tomorrow for four days, will I last out? More importantly, will the money?
