Getting started early in the morning.
There is a lovely man I know in Nashville who has a very large collection of instruments. He had us over for tea, and we got to look at many of the things he owns! It was really interesting, and I will only post a couple of the hundreds of pictures I got that day.
a fancy tortoiseshell frog!
a viol da gamba - a predecessor to the violin.
it has a lady head instead of a scroll!
This is a 1848 Vuillaume cello. It is the reason we came out there. It is a beautiful thing.
see?
oh, and it's just in wonderful condition too.
Other Nashville adventures:
Pancake pantry, with my two favorite White girls :)
We visited the Barbershop Harmony Society (of which Danny is a member) and learned to sing a tag!
We all thought it was the coolest that it was the sort of place where the people that worked there just all stopped what they were doing to come sing with us.
We saw Robert Kelly play a show in a neat little chapel downtown. (also performing was the fantastic Kristen Rogers - such a good random acoustic show it was!)
No trip to Nashville is complete without a trip to the Loveless Cafe. Nom biscuits!
We got all touristy and went honkytonking downtown!
And went to Jack's BBQ.
And went to the walking bridge.
We had one nice afternoon, and we used it very well.
The walking bridge was so very lovely that day.
Some views:
Chicago!
I was able to get such a good picture because we got caught in traffic on our way in.
The bean.
I am godzilla...
We got to hold some very old and very expensive instruments - it was a very neat trip!
Coming soon - a Tasty Tuesday biscuit endeavor! (inspired by Loveless)
