You are a great storyteller. I’m enjoying all of these tales about Nashville and its musical history. Also happy to known Mr Arnold’s stage persona was just like his real one.

Thank you, Kathy!

I’m having fun learning more, myself. Eddy was always a great person from what everyone has always said.

Thanks for this. 1924 photos were a serious business!

Great article, Zach … very interesting and informative. I can hardly wait to see what you do with Nashville’s Flat Rock area. Back in my youth, it was regularly referred to as the “Lace-Curtain Irish” sector of Nashville.

I’m glad You’re enjoying Your time living here in Nashville, and I hope You’re having great success with Your music career.

It’s been several years since I watched the Ken Burns doc about Country music but I don’t remember them saying too much about Eddie Arnold.

I think I understood Ken’s approach in it by using Johnny Cash as sort of a main focal point because Johnny Cash is the gateway drug to country music. But Ken missed a lot. A really large amount of stuff. I’m sure he left a lot of ugly stuff out on purpose - but yeah, we wanna know!
