Let Down Your Hair



I felt like Rapunzel sequestered in the tower as I was stranded in the RV up on hoists all day in the Prevost service center.  Although  I need a haircut, it certainly isn't long enough to let down and crawl out. Actually had a good day working on Makoshika basketball tourney as raining here.  Charley Daniel's bus was across from  us and Clay Walker's nice paint job was in the parking lot.  

We did let our own hair last night as we went to Tootsies Bar downtown. The walls are filled with pictures and autographs.  Out the back door is the Ryman Theatre, former home of the Grand Old Opry.    Hank Williams Sr. got fired for arriving late after too much time at Tootsies.  Two bands played Monday night ; one in the front and one in the back of this long narrow bar filled with folks having fun and  wanabees singing along.  Walking down the street  every bar had a band.  It reminded me of  Orleans but this is country and that is jazz.  We ended with BBQ - with TN sauce - vinegary and spicy and Kansas City sweet sauce. They slow-roast the brisket for 24 hours.  Parking downtown is $6/HR. $12/ 2 HR OR $17 til 6AM.  We take the wide open spaces back home for granted.
