Things I Learned at the Country Music Museum

I'm back from my exciting adventures in Nashville. This morning before we left we went to the Country Music Museum and Hall of Fame.

Things I learned:
1. Elvis had a car painted with 40 coats of paint that had ground up diamonds in it. There was a tv mounted in the back seat, which I can only imagine required bunny ears to work properly. Also Elvis should not have been allowed control of the check book.
2. Priscilla had Elvis's piano painted with gold leaf for their first anniversary. Priscilla ALSO should not have been allowed to control the check book.
3. I don't know a lot about the early country music artists. And my brain does not want to retain any information I might have read or heard today.
4. I do not have the attention span for really long audio tour explanations. Unless it's interesting stuff like the Alcatraz one, with people digging through concrete with spoons and swimming across bays.
5. Hearing a bunch of country hits makes you want to dance like a fool in public. And who am I to resist that urge?
6. Gift stores are fun.
