Nashville day one

We purchased a package of tickets for our tour of this country music capitol of the world.  Our first stop this morning was the Ryman Auditorium with the following pictures:

The mother church of Country Music


 The dynamic duo center stage at the Opry.  They wouldn't give me time to put it in tune.




Then we drove a few blocks to the Country Music Hall of Fame.  There were lots of exhibits  but we got a few pictures of some of the displays as follows.
