The Airbnb we have rented in Nashville is in the Music Row neighborhood. The owner sends me the door code in advance and on Sunday we easily use it to enter to the one bedroom apartment, our home for the next month. It matches the photos and our expectations, so all is good. The first couple of days we settle into the apartment, making grocery runs and a stop at Target to pick up a few things.
I use my daily walks to explore historic Music Row. On the northern edge is the statue “Musica”, paying homage to Nashville’s musical legacy. Across the street is the statue of Owen Bradley playing his piano. As a musician and record producer, he was one of a small group responsible for creating the 1950’s and 60’s Nashville sound.

I walk along the streets underneath the magnolia and poplar trees, passing by famed recording studios including RCA Studio B where Elvis recorded 260 songs and the Old Mill Studio (now Nashville Songwriters Association) where Alabama recorded their albums. The County Music Association is just a block and a half away, and 17th Street (a.k.a Music Row West) is dotted with buildings owned by Mike Curb, musician, record company executive, motorsport car enthusiast, and former Lt. Governor of California. One of the most interesting buildings architecturally is Curb World Records. This is the home of Christian artists including Amy Grant and For King and County.
It’s a wonderful area for morning and/or evening walks.
