CMA Fest Week = Heat or Rain

Live from Nashville ... The locals joke that CMA Fest Week is always the worst week of weather all year; it's either hot or it rains. So far it's been both. Yesterday it rained, today hot sunshine is breaking through the clouds, and tomorrow's forecast is more rain. Yours truly will miss the additional rain, because it's time to come home for the weekend. For the record, the CMA Fest is as busy and intense as you see on TV. GAC has played a big part in the festival, so there should be plenty of footage for you to see, and ABC will air the highlights of the nightly concerts in a special later this summer. Last night, Dierks Bentley announced that he was doing "Sideways" for TV. When you see it, remember that that show took place in the wee hours of the morning after a rainstorm.

Anyway, this morning more concerts were going on at the daytime stage by the river. Enjoy The Oak Ridge Boys and Bucky Covington. More pictures to be posted later.
