I went to see a showing of the film For the Love of Music: The Story of Nashville<\/a>. Upon arriving we were all handed a ham biscuit. Which was a great treat for getting up for a 10:30am showing.<\/p>\n

There was a Q&A Session with musicians Brett James and Amy Stroup hosted by Butch Spyron who also created the film. It was interesting to get a bit of insight into the film and the parts which weren’t included.<\/p>\n

After watching it, I want to move to Nashville. So it must have worked! There were two lines I wrote down because they stood out to me.<\/p>\n

\n My style’s a product of my limitation. – EmmyLou Harris\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So true of any creative activity. We’re all products of our own limitations.<\/p>\n

\n “I think genres are dead.” There’s good music. There’s bad music. And I think the cool thing about Nashville is it is at the epicenter of that kind of thinking. I’m a country music artist in Nashville, but Nashville is way, way, way bigger than country music.” – Eric Church\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would not normally have gone to this film, but one of the people I went to Bonnaroo with loves country music and used to live in Nashville so we all decided to go. An air-conditioned movie tent was an appealing start to a long, hot concert-going day. I am really glad I went.<\/p>\n

I want to move to Nashville now. There’s so much music being made everywhere in the city, it seems like a magical place. Like Los Angeles for movies, Nashville is where music comes from.<\/p>\n

When we first got into Nashville, we stopped for a gas, restroom, drink break. Going into the restroom, I was in there with a guy on his cell phone.<\/p>\n

Overhearing the conversation, he was talking about recording vocals track and mixing down audio. I joked to my wife, we hadn’t been in Nashville even an hour and I’d already run into someone working in the music business.<\/p>\n

The town seems to have music in its soul. If you enjoy tapping a toe, bobbing your head or getting up and dancing to a tune, For the Love of Music: The Story of Nashville<\/a> is worth your time.<\/p>\n

I’m not very musical but it made me want to dust off my vocals chords and try to learn an instrument. Then of course move to Nashville.<\/p>\n

‘Roominations is a series of posts that came from my trip to Bonnaroo 2014<\/a>. Four nomadic musical days in Tennessee where I was up before 9am and awake until 4am with random naps in between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
