Nashville Hard Rock Cafe near waterfront.
Margaret on steps of historic Ryman Auditorium, birthplace of the Grand Ol Opry. We had tickets to special
Opry show at Ryman featuring Dolly Parton. Dolly got sick, and Brad Paisley substituted for her.
The famous "Hatch Cat" who lives in the famous "Hatch Show Print" store.
Inside the Hatch printing press. Note posters drying to my right. They'll let anybody in this place.

Chance Martin (Johnny's Cash's close friend). It turned out that the Cash family was having a party
at the Country Music Hall of Fame the day we showed up.
