we have discussed it before but, hootenannys and hockey, in my mind, do not mix. the idea of musical acts at hockey games just doesn’t appeal to me. makes sense for Nashville, i guess, bc that is the industry that is in your town.
Nashville is Music City and it makes sense to have entertainment between periods, which always includes live music on the bandstage. Having good music is hardly equivalent to a hootenanny, which I have never attended, and we have all kinds of music here. Don’t knock it unless you’ve tried it. You don’t have to be in the music biz to appreciate it, although our area has a pretty good proportion who know it.
