Music I like, adventures I have, bits & pieces of Nashville and self-indulgent ramblings that I should probably not allow to be archived on the internet.

Here is a video of Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show and Jerry Douglas playing Wagon Wheel unplugged at the Ryman last night.

Saw Mumford & Sons tonight at War Memorial. And because this is Nashville, Old Crow Medicine Show dropped in for the encore and a rousing rendition of “Wagon Wheel,” then they all headed down to the Station Inn for Mumford’s fourth performance of the evening, which I would have given both my arms and a leg to get in to (and is currently still going on as I sit here angst-ing about it at 2am). Despite not getting everything I want in life (First World Problems are a bitch, eh?), tonight was special in a way that I can’t really touch with words, and I will hold it close to my heart. Or maybe I’m just delirious because I have only slept for 8 hours since Saturday.
In honor of TODAY! (Mumford & Sons Return To Nashville Day 1 of 3) I am reblogging myself from two years ago.
That was a sweet, sweet week - The Avett Brothers at the Ryman, Jonsi in Atlanta, Mumford & Sons at War Memorial and Sufjan Stevens in Knoxville all in the span of 8 days. Crazy, but so fantastic.
Edit to say: Wow, this video quality is so much more terrible than I remembered. This was back in my pre-iPhone days.

My friend wrote this letter to the editor last week, and the crotchety old man (<3 u Stephen) has a point. I loved the first few times that the Nashville nudies got dressed up in the middle of the night - all decked out in traditional Irish costumes for St. Patty’s Day, fitted with oversized Preds jerseys and a Stanley Cup, even when they became a mishmash of kilts, Preds jerseys and Jack Daniel’s beekeeper masks.
And then people had to go and ruin it. There were red plastic cups draped all over the statues for more than a month, and they would have remained if some, ahem, good samaritans hadn’t intervened. There were feather boas tied to the statues’ ankles for a few days, no idea what that was about. I drove past a crowd of drunk college students climbing and swinging from the statues while hanging a spray-painted-bedsheet political sign a couple weekends ago. It really bums me out that something that started out as fun, whimsical and engaging for the community has turned into tacky pandering for ACM votes and tasteless political marketing.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

17,000 kids have registered with Angel Tree in Nashville this year, and right now only 950 of the requests have been filled. You can adopt a kid at any of the area malls and return the gifts you purchase to the same location by December 3.
Also: Second Harvest Food Bank donations are down 30% and they have only collected enough to provide 400,000 meals so far (they projected to be at 2,000,000 meals by this time).
Time to share, Nashville!

I just signed up for this year’s Boulevard Bolt, a 5-mile Thanksgiving morning run in Nashville. This is hilarious because I have not run since July (thanks, broken foot!), but I have always wanted to run it and I’m rarely in town for Thanksgiving so what the hell. Today is the last day for $30 registration, it goes up to $40 tomorrow and will be $60 day-of. The run benefits Nashville’s homeless outreach organizations, like The Contributor. Come straggle it with me!
