Nashville. It never gets old.

Went to Brown's Diner - an old diner car planted on a corner in Hillsboro Village with something like a lean-to built onto the back - to see my good friend and guitar guru Mark Robinson throw down the jam with Mike Cullison and Randy Handley. Always guaranteed to be a good time, along with a good burger. So my friends take a break and invite Johnny Neel up to do a song.

Johnny played keyboards with the revived Allman Brothers for years. And in the middle of his song - which was a Thank-you-Jesus-for-the-Songs song - he gets everyone at the bar in Brown's Diner to sing Amazing Grace. And, again, it's Nashville, so the Brown's Diner bar crowd naturally sings in perfect harmony, sounding like a church choir that's been rehearsing for six weeks.

I love this town.
