We began our day at the shrine that is Country Music.
This museum was beyond anything I could have imagined. If it is Country Music, it is here.
Letters to contracts, costumes to boots, and instruments to automobiles...this place houses it all!
The exterior mimicking a piano and the circular portion which holds the Hall of Fame.
They paid attention to every detail, and it is currently expanding.
Each person inducted into the Hall of Fame has a plaque resting on these circular walls, with the most current members flanking the only commissioned art piece within the room.

Suit wore by Hank Williams Sr.
Guitars line the walls of the archive, everyday someone is cleaning, sorting or researching...
this is definitely a working museum
Included in our tour, was a behind the scenes visit to the famous RCA Studio B!
This Studio is home to many greats: Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison and the list goes on...
This piano can be heard in numerous songs; it is the original one to the studio and if there is a piano chord played then it came from this very piano.
Keith was actually able to play a few chords...he is so talented!
This fountain runs from the Hall of Fame rotunda, down the stair case to the lobby below.
simply beautiful
