The marker has the same text on both sides. It reads, "BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), an organization that collects performance royalties for songwriters and music publishers in all genres of music, opened its doors in New York in 1940. BMI was the first performance rights organization to represent what was then commonly referred to as rural and race music in the forms of country, gospel, blues, and jazz. In 1958, BMI established a permanent Nashville office and hired Frances William Preston as manager. BMI constructed the first wing of this building in 1964 and expanded it in 1995. This office represents songwriters and music publishers in Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Muscle Shoals and Austin, and played a key role in developing Nashville as Music City, U.S.A." The marker was erected in 2012 by The Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. There is parking along the street.

Chopping and stirring and tossing everything with her big arthritic freak nuckles. Also there is the Dutch Oven and Camp Cooking show which I remember from channel 8, it is hosted by this old dude with a lazy eye that doesn't blink. I can not forget about the Cowboy Flavor hosted by a guy with a handlebar moustache that would be the envy of any leather queen at the Rip Cord and his wife. Other Shows include Classic Country Hour, Prairie Farm Report, I love Toy Trains and Training Mules and Donkeys. Hours of entertainment check them out at http://www.rfdtv.com . Don't forget to watch the Don Imus who is on vaction this week and they are showing 8 hours of Livestock autions in his place. Didn't he just get back on the air how did he get a vaction this soon? Speaking of Channel 8 programming where can I find reruns of the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross shows?

When I first moved to Nashville area I saw people standing on the side of the road at intersections…read moreor sometimes in the strip between the two lanes holding up a paper and people rolling down their windows and making an exchange=== money for a paper. I thought wow this is a unique way to get your daily newspaper. I asked a co-worker and found out that this is a publication put out by homeless people and they have to follow a program and basically they pick these papers up and are allowed to sell them for money for themselves as opposed to just hanging out with a sign that said hungry- need food. I was very intriqued. I started buying the paper each it was convenient---stopped at a red light had the change hanging or my wallet handy as I think this is a great idea and once I started to actually get the little publication I enjoyed the articles. The articles are typically by homeless or former homeless people. I appreciate that this program is in place and I certainly feel more comfortable rolling down my window and or making eye contact and acknowledging these folks that are trying to do something to better their situation.

I have only been listening for a few weeks, but it's been wonderful. I really don't listen to much commercial music -- pop, country, hip-hop, or otherwise. And even though I'm a Berkeley grad, I still never listened to their KPFA station and their indie music. Just not my thing. I'm also not an NPR fan. A former coworker played it all day. While it didn't drive me nuts, I was always playing podcasts in my cubicle next door to keep me from hearing most of it. I personally don't want to be emotionally invested in news -- I like it in short bursts. Having just the top news played for a few minutes at the top of the hour is more my style. So, this station has just the perfect blend of classical and news for me. Of course, your mileage may vary.

There are a few columnists in the paper: a music column, a local realtor writes about real estate, and a local pastor writes a column. There are also photos of people out and about, and since this is Nashville, you're bound to recognize someone. This weekly paper is usually more ads than articles, and they could use a copy editor BUT it is free, and you can find out what is going on. I also enjoy reading my gay horoscope. You can pick it up at various locations around town or even download the whole thing online!
