Nashville Tennessee

I had to go Nashville Tennessee for a software conference this week.  It was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort.  It is the largest non-casino hotel in the world and the largest hotel in the United States outside Las Vegas.  It has 2,881 rooms with four open indoor garden area's that are bigger than football fields.

Indoor river you could take a boat ride on.

Tuesday Night I was able to go the Live Grand Ole Opry performance.  It is a two hour that is broadcast on a nation wide radio station WSM.  Each performer gets about 15mins, which is about 3 songs.  It was a mix of older performers that have been around for 50 years and some of the new talent.  Here is the lineup (Jeannie Seely, Emily West, Jimmy Newman, The Infamous Stringdusters, Jean Shepard, Craig Morgan, John Conlee, and Dierks Bentley).  It was a great time.
