We are back from our post Christmas Road Trip. This year we went to Nashville and it was fun, but the Country Music Hall of Fame was a big disappointment. Can you imagine a music history museum with scarcely any music clips? We bought the audio tour and everything, but the audio tour has long (loong) speeches, and no music. What were they thinking?
We passed through Paducah, Kentucky on the way and went to the American Quilt Museum. It was lovely and is really a showcase of modern quiltmaking rather than a history of any kind, but it was nice and it had a whole exhibit on Kaffe Fassett. I found a lot of his fabrics int he remnant bin at Hancocks of Paducah.
This video cuts out too soon at the very end, but legendary Hank Williams died suddenly on New Years Day at the age of 29 in 1955. I guess he used to make the women swoon with his lanky good looks.
Of course, we hardly heard any of him at the Hall of Fame.. we had to go home and research him on YouTube....

I LOVE IT! Glad you are back!
Happy New Year Susie!
I have only dreamed of shopping the remnant bin at HoP.
*swoon*
yeah, my family lives in Nashville and I've really not been impressed with it. But the Grand Ol' Opry is seriously all the country music you can handle & more.
