> > Hello again Howard,
> > Is Knoxville near Nashville? I just finished watching The 34th Annual Country Music Awards. It was very groovy. Essex is right next door to London but spreads right from London to the coast and I live about an hour out of London on the train in a little village called Dedham which is on the border between Essex and Suffolk. The artist John Constable lived there in case you're interested. Dedham Church is visible in a lot of his pictures. It is not a bad thing that you haven't heard of Take That. My friend sitting next to me here liked them though so I'll write this in a whisper [they were terrible!!!!!!!!] Tea is a great great British tradition. Very comforting on a cold day.

> Knoxville is about 170 miles east of Nashville. Both are on I-40 with a 70 mph speed limit so you can easily get there in three hours. I went to high school in Nashville and still think of it as a great town. I used to see Roy Acuff, Boots Randolph, and Little Jimmy Dickens around town. I had a teacher who taught Dinah Shore, but Dinah was a little older than me, so I never met her. Minnie Pearl was always showing up at civic gatherings. I couldn't name a dozen modern-day country music greats.

What a great name Boots Randolph is. And Minnie Pearl. Fantastic. Genius.
