We spent today in Nashville, going on a backstage tour of the the Grand Ole Opry House (purpose built in the 1970s to host the show 3 times a week). It was a good tour, but we both felt that the tour of the auditorium used from the 1940s-1970s (used famously by Johnny Cash and June Carter) would have been more interesting. Still, it was a good intro to country music history. We went for a drink in a saloon bar in downtown Nashville and listened to some guys playing country music – it seemed like a great place to be in the evening, but on our budget we were limited to a lunchtime drink.
We’ve seen enough of Nashville, so going to head to Memphis tomorrow so we have an extra day there with the car, which has to be returned on Thursday.
