Road Crew in the Fork<\/a> trip. The title describes a key aspect of the planned trip but does not fit the actual trip at all. The trip was scheduled around a concert by “America’s Route 66 Band”, The Road Crew, in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee. Shows at the Bluebird and Grand Ole Opry in nearby Nashville added to the trip’s planned musical content. The only one of those three shows I actually attended was the one at the Bluebird.<\/p>\nI had taken my time on the drive down with an overnight in Louisville, KY, and visits to a couple of museums before hitting the Bluebird on my first night in Nashville. It was raining when I headed back to my motel and overnight the biggest snowfall to hit the town in thirteen years began to fall. That night’s show at the Ryman did happen but I and many others were unable to get there with several roads, including parts of I-24 and I-40, closed. The Road Crew show for the following night was canceled. I considered myself quite lucky to be ensconced in something of a poor man’s resort with a rather busy Waffle House connected by steps to a cozy and completely filled Motel 6.<\/p>\n
