You can't be this close to Nashville and not do the country music thing. We ventured to the city last night, through heavy downpours and a lightning storm, and did the live, country music scene. Keagan was so excited to be at the Grand Ole Opry that his little hand squeezed mine all the way to our seat. He was completely taken with the idea of hearing someone famous perform.
He wasn't nearly as excited to hear the songs performed by the elderly with the hits from the 1950s, and truth be told, I wasn't either.There's just something about an old man singing a wistful song about being famous again that's just terribly depressing.
Keagan didn't hear anyone he recognized from the radio, but he decided a couple of performances were good enough that they should be on the radio. We agreed our favorites were Jimmy Wayne and the Texas duo, Sons of Fathers.
Can't wait to do it again real soon - old guys, heavy rain, and all.
