That is sad news! I don’t think I have ever made a trip to Nashville without stopping in. |

Sad, but I have to thank them for a job well done for so long. Thomas Hardy and I played there in '54, a couple of raw teenagers. Ernest and the band treated us so well. _________________ LeGrande II, Nash. 112, Harlow Dobro |

That's a shame, but not too surprising. It's gotta be pretty expensive having that property in the middle of downtown Nashville. I can't imagine record sales being too profitable today. _________________ Brad’s Page of Steel

The shop sold a lot more items than records. I spent a few hours there every time I visited Nashville and always left with my hands full. _________________ Remembering Harold Fogle (1945-1999) Pedal Steel Player

Always a must see for me every time too. This place is a shrine to the history of country music too. Too bad.
How about the theatre out in Music Valley? I'm assuming that's going out too? That was also a fun visit. |

I remember being in there on one of my trips to Nashville. Wasn't there a D10 pedal steel on display in there at one time, maybe one of Pete Drake's guitars? |

Sure enough, that is what I remembered. An Icon from the days when country music featured fiddles and pedal steel guitars. Thanks for the picture, Jerry. |

One of my favorite stops in Naashville although it was dead the last time there, no one playing at all.
Sad to see historic places like this disappear.

Sad to see that it is closing down.
If they did international shipping I would buy something from them.
Tony Davis gave me an old catalogue from there that he got 20 years ago.. I will hang onto it as a souvenir of better days in country music.
I hope when I someday get to Nashville there is still something there.... |

Will the radio show continue on WSM at midnight or is that gone? |

Tom, I believe the Saturday Night Midnight Jamboree radio show closed down a few years ago. The show was moved from the downtown location to an auxiliary Record Shop location located in a mall in the suburbs. I believe the Jamboree radio show stopped when the auxiliary location closed.
Here is a listing of the current WSM radio shows: https://wsmradio.com/shows/ _________________ Remembering Harold Fogle (1945-1999) Pedal Steel Player

I recall Marty Robbins would always go over time on the opry, when i wanted to hear Buddy play. But Robbins was great to hear as well. |

After looking at the ‘in depth articles’ and hearing pugnacious protagonists’ postulations fly freely, I can only laugh out loud at that characters name: Joe Buck Yourself. The rest is just as sad as a rainy-day funeral. 😪 |

Sad as hell, but also a sign of the times. Nobody really cares about things like this anymore, there is NO Connection. The younger generations have turned the corner to " nobody gives a crap about anything anymore" All they care about is which IPhone do they have.
I'm actually surprised it lasted as long as it did. I've been there many times and I'm glad for that.
Think about this....Mannys Music on 48th Street NYC, which was the premier Music Store in NYC , hang out on a Saturday and any BIG TIME Artist or player who was in NYC would come into the store . Well now its parking lot or maybe even an empty lot.
Our generational culture has changed 180 degrees and it didn't even take that long. _________________ Emmons L-II , Fender Telecasters, B-Benders
