The pubs open early in Nashville, and not just for cures. The musicians play full sets all morning long, and me used to entertainers who stay in bed late. The pubs are strict enough at the door. I was asked for ID for the first time in 40 years. The driver’s licence wasn’t accepted. Like I said, they’re very strict in Nashville.

Back to the hotel for the passport, and in we went, at last.
