Music City

More often that not, a rain squal has moved through where we happened to be.  One night in particular, thunder, lighting and rain so intense that the lightning and booming were virtually continuous for almost an hour until the storm blew through.  We've driven through a few of those and the rain can be so heavy that it'd be similar to standing under a waterfall.    We pulled into Nashville today and darned if those rain squalls didn't follow us.   Lucky however, we were standing just outside of a bar, each time, in Nashville 's Honky-Tonk Row and it just so happened that the music spewing out was worth listening to.  In order to stay dry, we had to duck inside.  Might as well have a beer and enjoy the music for a spell. 

 I'm not sure if y'all (darn, I'm picking up sum-a-dat southern tongue) are familiar with American Pickers on TV; well we happened to see the episodes where they opened a second store in Nashville.  As long as we're here, we may as well pay a visit…

Nice store. 

 We met a couple from Portland Oregon in the Honky-Tonk district and ended up spending the evening with them, bar hopping and grabbing some dinner.  

Tomorrow, we press on.
