    Blog: Hole In The Donut - 10 October 2011

    On my way back to Atlanta to deal with the dreaded taxes (for 2010) I took a slight detour to visit my friends Ruth Barber and Keith Watson, who live near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Since the city is built on tourism and offers a myriad of Disney-like attractions and rides, I’ve always found it a bit [...]

  4. Animals & Radnor Lake

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 25 August 2011

    Ever hear an acoustic guitar or banjo riff and become transported to somewhere similar the set of ‘Where the Red Fern Grows’ or read a passage from ‘Leaves of Grass’ and find a wilderness landscape suddenly painted across your imagination?  These places are Americana country, where log cabins puff smoke out their stone chimneys and people take short cuts through the woods to get to town.  Radnor Lake is a...

  5. Southern Charm in Historic Franklin Tennessee

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 30 May 2011

    Before I developed a movie taste of my own (before I saw my first 007 movie), my Mom had me watching AMC.  Whenever there were chores to be done inside or lightning outside, the TV set became a window into a different world; high plains, big cities, or cruise ships of either romance or murder, all of which I have seen as an adult.  There was one more ever present...

  11. Celebrating New Year’s in Nashville

    Blog: MuseumChick - 9 January 2011

    Nashville wasn’t necessarily on the top of my list of places to go. I’m not really a country music fan. Sure, I like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Taylor Swift (what can I say, I’m diverse) but I knew little about Nashville than country music and BBQ ribs. But when my good friend said she [...]

  18. Mexican Food Tour: Nashville

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 7 August 2010

    Since starting my Global Taco Hunt, I’ve paid extra attention to each little detail of my every experience.  Are the tacos delicious? Salsa too hot, too mild? Do they have queso dip? Should I get a margarita? How are the prices?  Seriously, I start thinking about every little flauta, burrito, nacho and chile relleno on the [...]

I’ve canoed down this river several [...]

    Blog: Music Road - 26 May 2010

    From the blues and Elvis in Memphis to the heartbeat of country and the soul of gospel in Music City through the high lonesome of the Great Smokey Mountains, Tennessee is a state and a people filled with music, and with musical contrasts which yet seem to work together. Right now, middle Tennessee and Nashville are recovering and still hurting from recent major flooding, the worst the area has seen in more than a hundred years.
