The Tennessee 3 at a bookstore

One of the perks of living in Nashville is being able to see historic musicians in odd places. Such was the case last week, when we went to a booksigning at a local bookstore and Johnny Cash's backup band just set up in the store and played through some of their greatest songs.

Pretty cool.

However, it was not without its oddities... there was some sort of music exec-leech guy running the whole thing who was very annoying. He thought it was prudent to offer stuff for giveaway. Stuff such as shirts given to him by Johnny Cash that Johnny didn't want. (They were pretty ugly). Basically, something that should have been really cool was turned into a kind of circus event by a smarmy music exec dropping names to validate his position in the world.

Anyway, the music was good.
