Nashville 10/20 - 10/22

Yo tubnetters in the Nashville area!

I'll be in town on business and staying over Tuesday through Thursday nights. What's happening during the evenings this coming week?

Must see?
Must hear?

You could stop by Trevecca Nazarene University. The Trevecca Symphony Orchestra (A large sized community / college orchestra with more local musicians, teachers, and semi-pros than students) is performing a concert 10/22 at 7:30 in the Boone Convocation Center that concludes with Mendelssohn's Reformation Symphony. I will be playing the serpent part on a Miraphone goldbrass F tuba, the last concert I ever play on that instrument (and it really cooks on that horn!). Ike Harris, another TubeNetter, often plays upright bass with this group, but I haven't seen him since our last Pops concert.
One of the other noteworthy pieces on that program includes a piano concerto by Medtner featuring our new staff accompanist, David Finney. The piece is a little different, but in a good way (nothing seriously atonal or anything like that), and this guy has serious chops.
The concert is free, drop in and say Hi! I love meeting TubeNetters in person.
PM me if you want directions or more details.

Thanks, Marty.

Any other good stuff in Nashville ???
Co-workers have suggested a few local places for blues and bluegrass.

Robert's Western World, 416 Broadway (it's a bar...). Some of the best live music in Nashvegas. If you can catch The Don Kelley Band there, they have one of the best upright bass players I have ever seen - Dave Roe. He was Johnny Cash's bassist from 1992 until Johnny's death a few years back. Just an incredible talent. I watched him 5-finger pick a bass like it was a banjo.
