Musicians of Broadway Street Nashville, Tennessee
May 22, 2008
We were staying at Poole Knobs COE Campground near Smyrna, TN.: $9
a night with elect & water (we have the National Park systems
1/2 price geezer pass) so if you aren't 62 years old or disabled yet
it will cost you $18. Smyrna and Poole Knobs COE Campground, is about
20-miles SE of downtown Nashville. We are on site # 41 and it is a
beautiful site but there are many wonderful sites.
On May 23, 2008 we moved to Two Rivers Campground near Opry Land
in northeast Nashville. There is no way we want to be in that COE
campground over Memorial Day weekend. Two Rivers is the private campground
we recommend for anyone visiting Nashville. It ain't cheap but it
is as inexpensive as anything available.
I wish we could have found a 1/2
Price PPA Campground but we didn't.
We seem to be settling down in the honky tonks on the north side
of Broadway since they do not allow smoking indoors. That sets them
apart from the honky tonks on the south side of Broadway. The Stage
on Broadway was where we seemed to find the best bands every
afternoon. However, we also liked groups playing at Legend's
Corner and every night the band in Robert's
was good but it was the same band every night so we would quickly
get enough of them. The Second
Fiddle was another honky tonk that had some good bands. For
some reason Tootsies
did not have bands that suited our tastes this week.
Band playing in The Stage
on Broadway honky tonk on Broadway in Nashville
This is the band that was playing in The
Stage on Broadway Thursday afternoon.
The lead singer did not have a business card and I did not remember
his name. Consequently I didn't include his picture. However, his
band was notable.
His acoustic guitar player has toured with a number of big names
but they escape me at this time. I do remember that the drummer in
this band was Tom Jones drummer.
The Stage
on Broadway is a classic honky tonk featuring excellent music.
This lead guitar player has been around for some time. He just came
off the road where he was playing in John Michael Montgomery's road
band.
Another entertainer performing in The
Stage on Broadway honky tonk on Broadway in Nashville
I think this base player's name is Alex. He tours with Billy Currington
and had a great voice.
That is Joyce
trying to dress up the Legends
Corner advertisement. As you can see we are enjoying the honky
tonks during the afternoon before things get too wild.
Kevin
Key is a super lead guitar player that can be enjoyed in several
honky tonks on Broadway.
Later in the evening we moved down to Legends
Corner, another of the top notch honky tonks on Broadway,
where Becki McLeod & her band was performing.
This is Kevin
Key an excellent lead guitar and vocals musician. We have
seen him in action with more than one band. In addition to touring
with Mark Wills he has been on the road with Colin Raye, Andy Griggs
and Steve Holly to name a few. When you see him setting up you know
that band will be good.

Musicians playing n Legend's
Corner honky tonk on Broadway in Nashville
I forget this musicians name but he seems to play on the road with
most of the bands that Keith traveled with. He was good on the acoustic
guitar as well as keyboard.
Becki McLeod entertains in many of the honky tonks on Broadway
This is Becki McLeod the groups lead singer and I suppose it is her
band. Becki is a great performer. I wonder why people with this kind
of talent aren't stars. You can check Becki out at:

Becki's base player was in Mark Will's tour band and her drummer
was a "session player" meaning that he is the drummer when
groups cut an album.
The level of talent in these groups is truly impressive. We were
enjoying them at Legend's
Corner (the corner of 5th and Broadway) one of our favorite
honky tonks.
