Legends Corner and Craig Campbell
November, 28th thru December 6th We normally look for 1/2 price PPA Campgrounds COE Campgrounds or National Park Campgrounds. But in Nashville, during the winter the COE Campgrounds are closed. This travellog covers a December visit to Nashville where we spent some wonderful afternoons & nights with musicians performing in the honky tonks along Broadway (between 4th & 5th) Street. Legends Corner is one of our favorite honky tonks on Broadway. One of our favorite entertainers, Craig Campbell, sings there regularly. We had planned to stay at Seven Points COE Campground but it was closed for the season so we stayed with our friends at Two Rivers Campground/RV-Park on Music Valley Road near the Grand Old Opry and the Gaylord Hotel and Convention center. We like staying with Two Rivers because of their location and price. KOA and Yogi Bear flank Two Rivers but they are MUCH more expensive.

Becky McCloud was performing at Legends Corner with Kevin Keefer, Mark Wills' lead guitar player accompanying her. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of Becky that I could use. But rest assured if you are in Nashville and get a chance to see Becky McCloud, jump at the chance. She is that good.
Craig Campbell at Legends Corner honky tonk in Nashville
Craig Campbell is one of our favorite entertainers as is his wife Mindy who we did not get to see this week. We enjoyed Craig Campbell several times during the week and never tire of his truly wonderful vocals.
The bald headed lead guitar player in the background plays for Trick Pony.
One afternoon at Legends Corner we listened to several personalities including Tim McGraw's base guitar player and Chris Gordon (Gordy) who has played with a variety of big names. We know Chris "Gordy" from Tootsies in Panama City Beach where he spent weeks playing the drums and entertaining with top flight vocals.
Posters in Legends Corner honky tonk in Nashville
Legend's Corner is decorated with a lot of memorabilia. Among the interesting things are these fliers from the past advertising concerts. Note Jim Morrison and the Doors with Steppenwolf, Sly & the Family Stone plus Jefferson Airplane for $7.50 back in 1967. Wow! All that for $7.50.

Then this one featuring Buddy Holly and the Crickets plus Ritchie Valens & the Big Bopper for $1.25 back in 1959. Totally unbelievable. You can see this poster and many more on the wall at Legends Corner honky tonk in Nashville.
That is all there is from Legends Corner honky tonk in Nashville.
One day we hope to see our friends make it big. All of them have the talent. All they need a break. Ain't life grand?
