At Dallas Love Field.
Arriving back in Nashville around 1030am. Plan on getting into the hire car and heading straight to Gruhns Guitars. Then probably pick up my rental guitar from backline rentals, then motel for a shower.
I will check in during the day, to see what people are up to, etc.
Really looking forward to this.
Dallas was cool.
Cheers
Wiz

Met up with Eric.... Cool cool cat.
Drove Eric over to meet Randy, Jerome and Cowboy!
Had a drink at a Mexican restaurant that they were having dinner at...someone paid for Jo and my drink, and I rudely forgot to say thank you.... Thank you!
Then went over to Jeromes house and met his Lovely wife and daughter.
Listened to some "candle smashing good tunes".... 8)
Just dropped Eric off at his motel.
Tomorrow is the day!
Gonna shoot out tomorrow morning and pick up my rental guitar...then hook up with the guys.
I am having the best time, and all the guys are cool and super friendly...
Cheers

This has been awesome, everybody has been great heard some great gear wionderful people, the s Tories have been worth the trip alone. I'll say this in a town full of talented people I just spent the evening with some of the most talented ! And I get to say I broke bread with Bob Ohlsson and his wife who is just as charming and interesting ! If you ever have the chance to spend some time with these 2 do it !
Oh then there is Donr and Randge jamming !

So sun was great. Amazing history. Will update fully on the experience when I get home. Civil rights museum was really interesting Beale street as a non drinker not so much fun Skipped Graceland Stayed at Tupelo nice place saw Elvis birth house Drove Natchez trace Went to muscle shoals and got a private tour iof Fame Studio and heard spooners Wurlitzer ... It sounded awesome!!!!! Went to muscle shoals sound studio which is having roof repairs done and everything is boxed up inside , so no look in there though We did get a great talk and visit with the lady there and heard some great stories. Was a very long day with lots of driving Up before 6am today to run the guitar back and try and make the most of our last day in Nashville we have a super early flight to LA tomorrow and I return the hire car tonight to the airport at 7pm so most likely not catch up with anyone before I go I am going to take jo shopping and try and swing by carter guitars which is the last thing on my list to do here
This part of your country is a delight and we have been treated so well it's amazing
Except for laundry dude here who is upset with me for making the coffe wrong 8) hey they have a sign says free coffee and I have no idea how many spoons to put in 8) he is funny he keeps walking past me shaking his head I just keep smiling 8)

It's been a lot of fun to follow these posts, even if from a distance. It would've been great to be able to get down to Nashville and meet Wiz and everyone else, we just couldn't work it out.
Fun stories though, Wiz should write a travel blog.
