On the last day in Nashville we had some free time so a group of us went downtown to check it out. We managed lunch and some shopping and then ended up spending the rest of the time at Tootsies Orchid Lounge. Tootsies is a small music venue that has been the starting place of many country singers. Tootsies focus today is to keep country music alive for both new and established musicians. For me, it was a few beers and a fun afternoon.
On stage that day was Jimmy Snyder who could play just about any request we tossed out. He also encouraged audience participation so my friend Carolyne ended up on stage for a couple of songs. After her set, she got to take the big bucket and pass it around the bar for band tips. The rest of us just sat back and laughed!
