Day nine, one away from a dime

Day nine.  This has been a pretty good day! Nashville was cool but what makes day nine even better is that tomorrow is the last day till i get home!! but besides that, downtown Nashville was fun because mine and Mehleena’s story went really well.  Brook, our producer, desperately needed a cowboy hat to fit in with all the country corner singers.  So we found a cowboy shop with boots and hats. Turns out the guy working there was very social and very interested in why we were carrying around a video camera/tripod.  So we told him our story and what we were doing in Nashville, Tennessee.  He then told us of a story idea.  He told us of a 4 membered band up the street who were all brothers and sisters. He then told us of how he had some of Johnny Cashes boots in a display rack, which i thought was extremely awesome, and how they were giving some boots to a singer At the Grand Ol Oprey.  So apparently this small boot shop in down town Nashville was actually pretty big, so to speak.  So we headed to the bar where this family band was playing and they were very nice, agreeing to let us shoot some film of them playing and agreed to let us interview them.  They ended up being pretty interesting characters, worthy of a story.  So all in all the day was good, timing was good, and luck was on my side.
