My wife and I made a quick trip to Nashville on Friday to attend the Instruments of Joy benefit concert. We didn't have much time, but did visit the new Artisan Guitars shop, played a few guitars at Carter's Vintage Guitars, and visited a bit with Greg Voros at Gruhn's.

Along the way, we met up with Collin Hill and family, enjoyed a great dinner, and then took in the concert which featured Phil Keaggy, Audrey Assad, and Buddy Greene. There was a nice meet and greet with the artists prior to the concert as well as a silent auction with tons of sports, musical and other Nashville-related items. Overall, the concert and silent auction raised over $20,000 for Instruments of Joy. Thirty hours after we set out, we were back home - wish we could have spent more time.

One more note: East of Nashville, we saw a little of the devastation caused by the tornado last week.  The photos I have seen online and in the media don't begin to describe the damage.

Photos below: Inside Carter's, a line-up of McPherson's at Gruhn's, and Phil playing 'Here Comes the Sun' during the concert.
