It’s the one place where Daddys still hold their place at the pinnacle of the family…. Nashville.
From Dolly Parton looking up doey-eyed at her kind-faced Daddy.
To Kenny Rogers fishing and hunting and getting some home-spun philosophy from his.
With Johhny Cash, biting and spitting and brawling with his before hugging it out.
Country Music has always been a safe, homely, old-fashioned throwback.
Where Dancing Dads go to lune-dance and wrap themselves up in fuzzy warm nostalgia.
You’ll see here that I want to get out to Nashville… and so to my hint for Father’s Day for Sunday, June 21.
I should already have been to Nashville already, last year.
But as seems to be the story of my life I was double booked.
I was out instead in South Africa https://www.southafrica.net/uk/en/ What’s new pussycat? when I could have been visiting Keith Urban https://keithurban.net in the Home of Country https://www.visitmusiccity.com
Thankfully the folks from Nashville who took us to see Keith The Country To Country Weekend in Dublin last year haven’t forgotten us.

Visit imogene + willie (I’m not making this up) for the perfect pair of local jeans.
While I’m reliably informed that you should check outHaymakers & Co. for the perfect button down and more.
Elvis and me: At his breakfast bar in Memphis
And what shouts Country more than a button-down shirt.
Personally I browsed Lansky Bros, the tailors to the King on Beale Street, Memphis for mine.
