Love the solitude and tranquility of the early morning-a fascinating counterpoint to the text. I've never been to Nashville as an adult and would love to experience the city and its music scene. However, posts like this leave me feeling ambivalent given the long list of places I still want/need to visit.
Thanks, Mark. Nashville reminds me a lot of Austin now, in that the commercialization has removed a lot of its once-scraggly charm. Both places still have great music scenes, but you've got to know where to go, shall we say? (And avoid Broadway at night unless there's a show at the Ryman you can't miss...)
My brother has lived in Nashville for almost 30 yrs. Broadway has gotten out of control and the city council is trying to reel things in. But it’s a push and pull situation with downtown residents and some older businesses v newer businesses/hotels.

Great photos of The Ryman!
