Airport Entertainment

For those of you who haven't seen or heard the multiple TV, radio and print advertisements, the Nashville International Airport has been renovated. I have to admit, I'm very impressed.

Included in the renovation is live entertainment at the legendary Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Tootsies is well known in Nashville for providing some of the best live music on Broadway.

I watched an episode of Tuckerville about 3 years ago and Tanya Tucker's underage daughter snuck into the bar and started singing on stage. This is where people become famous.

Since I try to do all things Nashville, I decided to get dinner at Tootsie's Airport location, instead of going down the terminal for something much cheaper. Turns out, Tootsie's Airport location is pretty cool, and people were cheering for the music and requesting a bunch of songs.

One problem. The 16-year-old kid playing the guitar didn't know half of the songs. He didn't even know one of the most popular honky tonk songs, "Gone Fishin' in the Dark" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Overall, even though the bar is over priced and the music has a lot of room to improve, I'm once again proud that Nashville is trying something new by offering live music in the airport. That is something unique that not many other airports offer.
