Trip to Nashville, TN

I’m currently away from home so getting access to the Internet is spotty at best. I’ve been attending the annual conference of the Association of Christian Librarians (www.acl.org) at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN. Last night I was able to go to the Bluebird Cafe to hear up and coming songwriters perform in the round. The place is just a dive but it was a truly unique experience to sit just a few feet away from the four performers for two hours of live, acoustic music. Really neat! While some of the performers’ voices weren’t great (I guess that’s true of a lot of songwriters), the lyrics and the music were top-notch. Today I’m hoping to do some touristy things since the conference finished yesterday.
