All About Music & Mafia: January 12th

Today it was raining a steady rain. There was dark grey cloud cover and it was windy. I was all dressed up for a rainy day, pants, boots, long sleeve, and rain jacket... but I soon found out that it was freakin hot out there!! It was pouring rain, but I was sweating my butt off. It was miserable. I could hardly stand it. Humidity. I don't like it. Lol :-) I guess I'm gonna have to get used to that soon.

We went to downtown Nashville to the Country Hall of Fame to attend a songwriters debut session. What this is, is they host two professional songwriters, and within 45 minutes the songwriters talk about their biggest hits, how they came up with them, sing them, and then they answer any questions from the audience. Since Buck and I are members of the hall of fame now we got in for free. The songwriters we saw today were Mr. Will Nance, who has written hits for George Strait, Brad Paisley and many, many more, and Mr. Bob Regan who has written hits for Keith Urban, George Strait, Roy Rodgers, Gene Watson and many, many more. And yesterday Buck had a solo writing session with Will Nance so Will came and chatted with us after the session.

Then we headed down to the bars to see Buck's friend Stan Saxton, who plays drums, down at The Stage. He was performing with a singer named Gary Gibson. We stayed downtown and had a truly fried lunch at Roberts. Buck got a fried bologna sandwich and I got chicken strips. Can you tell we are healthy? Roberts is a small, long shaped bar with a black & white checkered floor, a corner stage, and rows of old boots on the wall. When we arrived, a young girl named Rachel was playing on stage, and by the time we left, Buck's friend Monty Good. Was playing. The place was packed for a Saturday afternoon. We hung around for a awhile, listening to music, and then we headed home.

Today we got our very first mail delivery!! We got cards from my parents. Very sweet. Thank you Mom and Dad!!

Buck also got his shipment of mafia movies; Casino & Good Fellas. So we have made dinner and are hanging out watching them. I'm not a huge fan of fighting in movies, but I'm giving them a try.

Hope all is well with everyone at home. We have been thinking of you and our keeping you all in our prayers.

Xoxo-
Sarah Beth & Buck
