didn't want that to be put up.

Some of them are still tryin'

to get it to be taken down.

I've taken a different approach.

I think it's great.

It's right here at the entrance

to music row.

I think it serves

as a great reminder.

A reminder to all of us

that you might only

lose your shirt in music,

you might lose your pants,

as well.

That's my take on it.

On the left is a very famous

recording studio.

It is called RCA studio b.

Studio b is where Elvis Presley

did most of his recordings.

And some of the other artists

who recorded here at studio b:

Pat Boone, the Louvin brothers,

Jean Shepard, Jan Howard,

Bob wills, bill Monroe,

Carl Perkins, red Foley

and kitty Wells.

Ferlin Husky, Jimmy Dean.

Grandpa Jones recorded

t for Texas here.

Porter Wagner, Dolly Parton,

the Everly brothers,

Mel Tillis, Roy Orbison,

Willie Nelson recorded here.

It just goes on and on.

Right now,

in front of us is curb records.

And we have a curb songwriter on

the tour today, Bobby Tomberlin.

Bobby's written great songs.

Songs recorded by artists like

Jerry Lee Lewis, Willie Nelson,

a great song by diamond Rio...

One more day,

a number-one hit.

It crossed over to the adult

contemporary and pop charts.

One of the great songs

I just heard you sing

was at little Jimmy dickens'

funeral.

You wrote that for little Jimmy

and his wife, Mona, correct?

Yeah, I did.

Yeah.

And such a great performance

on that song

that you did

at the funeral service.

Bobby, so great to have you with

your friends on the tour today.

Hey, thank you, buddy.

Coming up on your right is the

Quonset hut recording studio.

The Quonset hut is where artists

like Johnny cash recorded.

Bob Dylan recorded Nashville,

skyline and blond on blond.

Brenda Lee recorded here.

Loretta Lynn.

And this is the building where

Kris Kristofferson was a janitor

when he first worked

on music row.

And coming up on your left,

where Elvis Presley stayed...

I just wanted to introduce

myself. Wheeler Bryson.

Hey, I'm Bobby.

Never met a real time

songwriter before.

Good to meet ya.

You too, man.

I grew up, my daddy taught me

all about Jimmy dickens.

We used to listen to him a lot

on the grand ole Opry.

Yeah.

What's a big-time songwriter

doin' on a tour bus with us,

you know, in Nashville?

My buddy, Josh,

he's visiting from out of town.

Oh, all right.

How you doin', man?

Yeah, good to meet you.

Yeah, we were just out

takin' the tour.

Man, it's a pleasure.

Yeah. What do you do?

I'm a singer-songwriter,

but not professional like you.

I... I've never been

to Nashville and came

with some buddies of mine and

took the tour, a little tourism.
