I wouldn’t live there now but loved living there in the early to mid ‘70s. Lived in the Hillsboro Village area. Boy, have they ruined that section of the city!
I wish I could remember the name of the little bar I hung out at but my ol’ pea brain ain’t what it used to be. LOL! But they had live music and a lot of GOOD local musicians played there. I don’t think many of them got anywhere and that’s a shame. They were good but Nashville is always flooded with musicians and only so many are lucky enough to make it.
A couple of guys from bands I heard in Raleigh moved to Nashville in later years and made it big. Ben Folds went there to write music and formed Ben Folds Five, and Darius Rucker, from Hooty and the Blowfish, ended up going country. Both really nice guys and I’m glad they’ve done well.
I was there for a time and went to a local called Larry’s Place. Decent for a dive but you had to elevate past it.
Some good singers were there. They were just a bit to far from downtown. Larry was getting old.
