"Tootsies" is a famous little bar in downtown

Nashville where newcombers go and play that

are trying to get there start. Every once in a while

someone that's already made it big, drops in and

plays a song or two.

"Fontanel" former home of Barbara Mandrell

is now owned by a couple of music producers and

you can tour the home when nothing is going on there.

Doy and I escaped after Christmas and ended

up in Nashville for a few days sightseeing some

place different. As you can see from the pic's we

visited Lorretta Lynn's home in Hurricane Mills, TN

before making the trip into Nashville. It was late in the

day so we missed the tour of the home. Next day we went

to Fontanel to see this massive Log Home of Barbara Mandrell.

Did a little shopping downtown and eating at Margaritaville

at night. Before we left Nashville for the week, we went

to The Hermitage, which is the homeplace of Andrew Jackson.

Beautiful place and lots of history there. Part of the orginal

home burned in the 1800's but was quickly restored. Some

of the wallpaper on the walls today have been preservered

but they are the originals wall coverings. If you ever get to

take a little vacation....go to Nashville. Lots to do there, but

never enough time to do it all. I'm ready to go back soon !
