Abanoned Nashville General Hospital
Part of the old Nashville City Hospital complex… if I’m not mistaken, this is considered the “art deco” building and was used as a school. Currently the complex is being renovated into condos.

Souvenir geode we picked up at the Ruby Falls gift shop… I’ve always loved these things!

Cumberland Caverns Volcano Room - The Steeldrivers
Venue where the Bluegrass Underground radio shows for WSM are being recorded. This all took place deep within a cave at Cumberland Caverns in Middle Tennessee. It is simply amazing that we are able to go to see bluegrass in such a beautiful place… I couldn’t beleive it the whole time I was there. Grammy winning engineer Nashphil (Phil Harris) was in charge of the audio and gave Amanda and I tickets… Thanks again Phil!
UPDATE 10-14-08:
I have just been enlisted as the official photographer for the Bluegrass Underground tapings… 2 great shows coming up… The Infamous Stringdusters Nov 8 and Tim O’Brien Dec 6. You won’t want to miss these!

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Sommet Center - Nashville, TN
What an amazing concert… Buddy Miller, Stuart Duncan, Alison Krauss, Robert Plant, T-Bone Burnett, Dennis Crouch, and one hell of a drummer… I never caught his name.
Ween at City Hall - Nashville, TN - 2008
Ween put on a great show in Nashville Wednesday night… The place was so packed I had to put the camera up after a few shots. Too many drunk people packed in like that make me nervous. Awesome performance! I went with 2 hardcore fans that were extremely satisfied and I was extremely impressed, although I have never listened to the band. The way Aaron (Gene Ween) connects with the audience is truly special. There was a very real connection with the band as well. You could tell they were happy to be in Nashville playing their songs for a very dedicated, loyal, and quite large fanbase. I’ve never personally seen City Hall that crowded.
Life at Creative Caffeine…
Here are just a few of cool living things found at the songwriters retreat behind Creative Caffeine Studio.
