“If your main interest is seeing the front gates of Country star’s homes from the street this is not your tour.”

 

“This is the tour the locals do not want to be featured in.”

 

“Music Row can be a dream or a nightmare. But the nightmares are more entertaining.”

 

“If you think you know how the music business really works you would be giving this tour instead of me.”
