Friday the 13th unlucky you say? Pish tosh! Not for me, no sirree, Bob! Yesterday, which just so happened to be Friday the 13th, I spent the day celebrating one of the greatest musicians and most dynamic performers of all time: Charlie Daniels. I went to visit my sister in Nashville, and she took me all around the area, showing me all the grand ol' Charlie Daniels sights! It was wonderful! I took plenty of pictures, many of which I've posted below.



The tour began on Charlie Daniels Parkway in Mt. Juliet, TN - home city of the great bearded fiddler himself.



Charlie Daniels Park is located on Charlie Daniels Parkway. Go figure.

I couldn't pass up this photo opp.



I hula hooped on the main stage of the park. What you cannot see in this picture is the crowd of thousands of people watching and cheering me on. They really went nuts for it.



Between sight-seeing stops, my fabulous sister pulled some strings at the local Starbucks (she's got some real connections, let me tell ya) and got me a Mocha Coconut Happy Hour Frappuccino! (Or a Mochanut Happuccino, for short.)

Awesome.





Check out this fiddle playin' raccoon! He was really good.



Me and the great big patriotic guitar. I wonder what that eagle is gonna do with that banjo...

Sadly, I did not get to meet Charlie Daniels on this tour. I saw him perform last year, and my master plan was to meet him and jam on our fiddles, but alas, it did not work out. One day. One day...
