Music City

Your Neck of the Woods

October 19, 2018 by 127 Comments

Nashville Parthenon Centennial ParkOn this rainy Friday night (at least it’s raining here in Nashville), I thought it would be fun to kick off the weekend with a discussion post. My favorite part about blogging is being able to chat with my readers via comments, email, and Facebook, and I always enjoy learning more about each of you.

Mr. Handsome and I have followers from across the globe, and I would love to know what part of the world you live in. I’m also curious to hear any interesting or unique facts about your hometown or native country. I’ll start……

Music City

March 4, 2017 by 42 Comments

Although Mr. Handsome and I live in Music City (aka Nashville, Tennessee), we don’t go to as many musical performances as you might expect. When we moved here, we assumed that the big name artists would play concerts in Nashville multiple times per year, but we have found that that is not the case.

Winter Jam 2017

The major bands stop in Nashville once during each of their tours, but aside from that, our city doesn’t usually see more of these performers than any other large city in the United States. Now, on any night of the week, you can walk down Broadway and hear at least a
dozen cover bands performing live shows at the many bars, but that
isn’t our
cup of tea.

A few months ago, we checked the Nashville city calendar and selected two concerts in February that we wanted to see.

The first was Winter Jam, an annual tour that features more than a dozen top contemporary Christian artists, as well as a few speakers. This year, the tour included Crowder, Tenth Avenue North, Britt Nicole, Newsong, Sadie Robertson, and several others. A handful of artists who have performed in past years and live in town also came out on stage to say hello, which was neat.

The show was five hours long and showcased a wide variety of music, with an admission price of only $10. We had the privilege of sitting behind the stage in a section with very few others, giving us a birds-eye view of everything that went on backstage.

The second concert was a performance by a bluegrass band that took place at a restaurant–a much smaller venue.

Mr. Handsome grew up listening to bluegrass music, and once he had
become proficient in classical violin and piano, he started learning
fiddle, guitar, and banjo, as you’ve seen him demonstrate in some of the video clips I
have posted. Needless to say, he is a big fan of bluegrass music, and while I don’t always care for the words, the lightening-fast instrumentals are impressive.

Our Friend Mo Pitney

November 10, 2016 by 22 Comments

We live in Nashville, Tennessee, known across the globe as Music City. While we don’t attend concerts every weekend, we have quite a few friends who are part of the professional country/bluegrass music scene, and we enjoy supporting their endeavors.

One of those folks, Mo Pitney, recently hosted his CD release part at The Station Inn. (Mo and his wife are in our Bible study.) We enjoyed chatting with other friends while listening to Mo perform songs off his new album, “Behind This Guitar.” He is in his mid-twenties, but if you heard him sing without seeing a picture, you could easily mistake him for 65. His voice certainly has an “old country” feel to it.

Below is the music video of “Boy & A Girl Thing,” my favorite song by Mo. (“Everywhere” and Mo’s rendition of “Give Me Jesus” are two of my other favorites.) If you’re interested in learning more about him or purchasing his album, visit mopitney.com.
