Music & Fabulous Cars on The Tennessee Music Highway This Weekend

Great weather on The Tennessee Music Highway this past weekend brought out the music lovers and the car fans!  It was the 24th Annual Bunny Run Car Show at the Jackson Fairgrounds, sponsored by the Jackson Rod & Custom Car Club with proceeds benefitting St. Jude's Children's Hospital, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital & a Christmas Shopping Spree for needy children. And just down the 45 Highway at the  West Tennessee Farmer's Market, the Jacob Barker Music Fest featured dozens  of awesome bands at the AMP to benefit St. Jude's Childen's Research Hospital.

This Weekend on The Tennessee Music Highway- March 5, 2016

The weather was beautiful on The Tennessee Music Highway this weekend. It was a great day Saturday, to head out to Brownsville and Haywood County to catch up on Nutbush news and visit the Tina Turner Museum and the West Tennessee  Music Museum (my first trip there for 2016! Of course you can view the Sleepy John Estes Home as well at the same location (there have been a few minor changes to the interior of his home since 2015). Both the Estes home and the Tina Turner museum are now located at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, as well as  the West Tennessee Music Museum. My nephews, Colton and Tate Cronin enjoyed their first trip to the Center, as well as the  drive up the famous Highway No. 19 (to the Nutbush City limit)! No city there, but a lot of cotton fields ready for planting and a  reminder of the once thriving little community, with the country store still standing!  I hope you have a great week on the Tennessee Music Highway this week!

The Carl Perkins Civic Center in downtown Jackson, Tennessee is full of the sounds of the Marshall Tucker Band tonight!  It is the 22nd annual Blue Suede dinner and auction to benefit the Exchange Club -Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse, with the special entertainment from the legendary band. The band has undergone many changes since the start in Spartanburg, South Carolina, decades ago. But one thing that has not changed,  is the great sound the band projects with legendary hits like, "Heard it in a Love Song," and "Can't You See." I have attended many of the Blue Suede dinner and auctions over the years, and it is a great time for a great cause.
