Idle Hour Tavern, Nashville

I went to The Idle Hour one Saturday night in April 1996. There I met J W Allan. I found the atmosphere the greatest thing I'd come across in a bar anywhere in the world. It was the mix a people who came in as the night wore on. But what made my jaw drop was the couple of guys sitting at the bar, swapping a guitar and just singing it as it is. We don't get much of that in England! I had to leave early, about 1 o'clock, which was a great pity and looking back I feel sad. I called in again during my honeymoon in 1998. It was during the Winter of Ice Storm 98 and although we were invited to the Xmas party, because of the weather, we never made it. However I was given a copy of the HUGHLY sucssesful, and best selling album 'The Hillbilly Trio, Live at the Idle Hour'. An album which should be in everyone's collection. I see that the Idle Hour has now moved, so 'I Can't Get Back' even if I ever visit Nashville again.
