My experience with these panels is that they have all the songs they need, and unless you have a song the pizza delivery guy could spot as a hit, you're out of luck. So now I'm going to go home and try to write one of those! Thanks for posting the e-mail you sent to the guys, Michael. I admire your transparency.I can't wait to meet all of you!CamMe too Cam I did the same thing earlier. Heck your close to being one of the panelists!

Last time I was in Nashville I slipped into one of the bars on lower Broadway and listened to one of the best Western Swing bands I'd ever heard. They were playing for tips. When they weren't bashing Kenney Chesney, that is.Cam

I believe there is still much we could learn from this as we both work in music / media. (My husband Nathan is not a TAXI member - only I am.) We would both be happy to come early and help you set up as needed. Nathan is an audio engineer and offered to help with tech during the show if you need it. We could also help tear down afterward. Just let us know when and where to report for duty. ~ LydiaYou get my vote for you and the hubster to come, Lydia. Thanks Chits! -----I am really looking forward both to learning a lot and to finally get to meet some of you face to face!

I'm going to rent a PA from Martina's hubby (probably not the one they use on the road , and it'll just be talking heads, so not all that much to deal with. But I might have your hubby ride gain on the talking heads as they are typically a little sloppy on their mic technique. I'm an engineer too. Can your hubby be MY date? Don't get me talking about microphones.... I get all teary eyed just thinking about them!See you there,MichaelThank you Michael! I will tell Nathan that we are going. If you need us to come early just let us know. Otherwise we'll look for you when we get there to see if you need Nathan to ride gain. He smiled when I said he may get to do that. ~ Lydia

I also don't write country, but would love to go to just to watch and learn and to meet some of you in person. Is there room for one more?B

Hey allIt looks like I MAY be able to buzz in for a quick trip, flying in Mon, coming home Tues... It looks like too much fun to miss.It all depends on what I can cover with various frequent traveler points.Question: For those who are going... when would you be arriving and leaving Nashville (or be around if you live there)? The reason I ask is when folks will be around would determine my choice of possible flights (e.g. I'd get there early on Monday and come home later on Tuesday if some of you will be around)... Checking all my rewards points stuff... It's not a very long flight from Philly. Casey

Casey, hubby and I will be arriving on Sunday (possibly late morning) in Nashville, and we'll be departing sometime Tuesday. Hope those frequent traveler points work out!
