Moved on to see the Ryman Auditorium which was built as the Union Gospel Tabernacle back in 1892. Became the Grand Ole Opry till they built a bigger place. Its still used as a theatre and they say it has the best ever acoustics.
We then had a saunter down Broadway popping into all the live music bars - superb! We would still be there if it hadn't started to rain.
My day was complete - we had a lovely meal at the "Cock of The Walk" so named after the toughest man aboard each boat going down the Cumberland River, he wore a red turkey feather in his hat. It was an unwritten custom that one red feather must challenge another thus the arrival of a large fleet meant many a bloody battle.
We had no battle to contend with - just corn bread, pickled onions, coleslaw, Fried Catfish Fillet, Riverfries and hushpuppies washed down with Bud - result - full!
A perfect day! Thank you Roy xx
