A great friend.....in a great town

After exploring the greater Memphis area, I made the slow drive up out of the Mississippi delta and over to Nashville, one of the great towns in the country if you love country music. I think some country music was definitely in order for me at this point in my life. My great friend did a great job of keeping us busy with fun stuff, but probably the most fun I had was listening to a bluegrass band called Jypsi play at a little joint down on Broadway. They were a funky group of family members almost reminiscent of a folk group out of the 60's, but they could definitely play and I was drawn to one of the covers they did. It was an old Waylon Jennings song called, "I don't want to get over you" and the lead singer blew me away with her moving vocals.

After spending some good time and talking about life with my great friend, I made my way to Knoxville, a place I called home for a couple of years after college.

More later......
