My husband and I took a road-trip to Nashville for spring break! We are having a ton of FUN! First of all, can I just say FOOD! Nashville has some of the best bbq and soul food I have ever had. When you top that off with great music all around you, it is a cool place to visit! My husband is a singer/songwriter and has been blessed with several connections to hopefully get some of his music out there! We were at this great club last night and there was this amazing band playing, we happened to notice that the bass guitarist was probably in his 70's and was jamming like a 20 year old!! It turns out he used to be the base player for Jimmy Hendricks and many other large successful bands. He told us "its kind of hard to change career paths when your my age"! I agree; and when you are that amazing at what you do, why should you! What an inspiration! It's been awesome meeting so many great writers of songs we all know and love!
I'm a huge fan of the Food Network! I love the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! In this show they travel all over the country finding some of the best locally-owned places to eat! Last year they featured a cafe in Nashville called "The Loveless Cafe". It is famous here! Brett and I asked immediately where we could find this beloved cafe! All I can say is, WOW! I definitely know why this place is famous!! I had biscuits that were better than anybodies mama or grand-mama!!! Topped off with the best homemade blackberry, strawberry, and apricot preserves I have ever put in my mouth! The rest of the food was delicious as well. If I could just bring Miss Carol Faye "the biscuit maker" back to Iowa with me we would all be happier people! Speaking of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives! Our very own Joe's Cafe in Des Moines is going to be featured on the show this summer! Congratulations Joe! If you have not ever been to Joe's Cafe it is located a block north of the Historical Building downtown.
So if you love music and soul food, take a trip to Nashville!
See you all soon!
