Free Chevy Stage at CMA Music Festival

 

June 4, 2008.

We are staying in Two Rivers Campground near Opry Land in northeast Nashville over the Memorial Day weekend. Two Rivers is the private campground we recommend for anyone visiting Nashville. We like it because it is $21 cheaper than the next best campground. When staying at Two Rivers Campground we pay $31 for water & 30-amps. Full-hookup and 50-amps are a bit more. But, and it is a big BUT the Yogi Bear Campground next door starts at $51 and goes up while the KOA a block away starts somewhere above that and the sky is the limit. In Nashville you are paying for LOCATION and Two Rivers Campground has LOCATION. Besides that they sponsor good entertainment in the park several times a week. When I say "GOOD" entertainment I mean FREE afternoon shows from the likes of Hot Damn out of South Florida, Paul Hill who operates out of Nashville and the incomprehendable Mel McDaniel who still resides in Nashville.

We normally look for 1/2 price PPA Campgrounds COE Campgrounds or National Park Campgrounds. But in Nashville, over the Memorial Day weekend Two Rivers Campground is our choice.

 

After the parade action started on the Free Chevy Stage and continued until 8pm. Hours and hours of free music was presented on the Chevy Stage every day of the CMA Music Fest. After the parade Keith Anderson, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, James Otto, Joe Nichols, Rissi Palmer, Phil Stacey and Chris Young performed. How is that for a free concert!

This is Michael Peterson performing Saturday afternoon on the Free Chevy Stage. It was hot, as in almost 100 degrees outside, and that thinned the crowds but there were a few diehards enjoying his music.

 

 

 

 

I addition to performingh his hit song "Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie" Michael Peterson told a joke I remember: Why do couples get married in the morning? If it doesn't work out they haven't wasted the entire day. Guess who didn't think it was funny? VBG

Joyce posed for a picture before we headed to the Convention Center and air conditioning. Besides Mary Kay was sponsoring an acoustic stage with chairs on the second floor of the Convention Center which was an air-conditioned venue.

This artist is Joe Nichols performing at the Free Chevy Stage. I think Joe is the artist/songwriter that sang the hit "Tequila makes her clothes fall off", correct me if I am wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michael Martin Murphy performing their hit "On a pony called Wildfire" on the Free Chevy Stage at CMA Music Festival

 

 

 

This is Michael Martin Murphy. I think they are best known for a song called "On a pony called Wildfire".

 

They also might be the ones that coined the phrase; "Life is tough, it is tougher if you are stupid!"

There is nothing like spending time with my best friend -- it sure makes life worth living. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

 

 

 

We headed home early tonight, as in 8pm in the hopes of getting enough rest tonight so that we can make it through the entire day/night tomorrow. Performers will begin their concerts in the morning at 10am and continue on multiple stages until midnight tomorrow night. At any one time there are probably in excess of 5-Country Stars performing on various stages. You have to pick and choose which ones you want to hear and move to that venue. They are all good, you just have to decide which one you really want to see.

 

Having fun at CMA isn't the only thing to do in Nashville.

One day we went for an afternoon cruise on the General Jackson Showboat that boards jusd down the road from where we are staying at Two Rivers Campground. Check these links to read about our adventure on the General Jackson Showboat: Peking Acrobats, Delta Queen, General Jackson, Joyce touring the wheelhouse on the General Jackson.

 

Until next time remember how good life is.
