On the road again; today, we drove non-stop from Nashville to Johnson City, TN, taking a slightly scenic route the last 60 miles or so. After we checked into the hotel and cleaned up a bit, we got a taxi into historic downtown Johnson City, had an excellent dinner at “Label”, watched the Kentucky Derby in the bar and then walked down the street to “The Willow Tree”, where we listened to some very nice acoustic live music from Ryan Joseph Anderson and Sam Lewis, separately at first and then together. Lovely evening and really nice music in an excellent venue. Got to chatting with Ryan after the show and he mentioned that he had played at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck in Houston, our acoustic home away from home. A good night was had by all. Home (to the motel) by 11:00 pm.
