August 27, 2018.    “It’s a journey of discovery “.  Pops is not crazy about country music, but we are in Nashville!  Today I  “encouraged “ him to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the RCA Studio B tour. The Hall of Fame is fun and has so much history that it is, at times, a little overwhelming. Pops grudgingly admitted that he enjoyed it, but the most fun was the Studio B tour. The guide admits she loves this place and it shows. She shares stories and music from many of the famous people who recorded there over the years, since 1956. It became famous in the 1960s for the development of the Nashville Sound ( more background vocals and strings, less twang). This pretty much revived the popularity of Country Music. The guide said that Elvis Presley recorded more than 250 songs at Studio B. It was his favorite recording studio.  Another interesting fact was that Chet Atkins was a record producer and manager of Studio B before he became a recording artist. It was a fun day.   Back at the RV Park we tried to listen to the evening entertainment but the weather has turned so hot and humid that we had to escape to the air conditioning.
