LIVING IN NASHVILLE FOR 40 YEARS.
Did you see my interview with ken Burns?
He interviewed me under the Jefferson Street bridge in my card board box. The new series is about Nashville Musicians that made it. Or they'll call it "SUCCESS".
My cardboard box use to be owned by Johnny Cox. He sold to me for a great deal!

This post is causing flashbacks from my youth of Monty Python... in a most pleasant way.

Having never heard of you. Not sure how to take this. I guess it's intended as a humorous inside joke. Hope so. No one should have to live like that. But so many do.  |

| It is humor. But I have lived and played in Nashville for that long. I've played with many of my Country Music artists over the years. |

| Ha! In my pursuit of music, I have spent time living in a car, atop an old roadhouse, and more often than not, on girls couches. I had to give it up for something a little more stable haha! |

| I went there from high school in '63 until '66 when Uncle Sam decided he wanted me. Lived in a boarding house on 16th ave. south. Across from RCA. I think it was RCA. Been a long time. |

| My friend Jule said he lived in the box under the bridge till he got a job and bought a step delivery truck that he parked on lower broadway. I know his story is true because Smithsonian sent a reporter to Nashville to take pictures and interview folks there . Jule was paid to guide the photographer and give interviews . The book is titled : Nashville's Lower Broad , The Street That Music Made . Very good reading and a lot of older pictures of Lower Broadway . |

I have to repeat, THIS IS A JOKE.
I've been successful here the last 40 years and worked for many of the legends. Plus the Opry and HeeHaw.
I've had a ball and still play around town. Just not fulltime anymore.

Always love your Posts and your playing Ron... and this was pretty funny 
When I was a kid, living in a small town in Eastern Washington, I think there were more starving musicians than ones putting food on their table from it. So early on, my lifes endeavor was never to become a “working†musician living in a cardboard box , but just to play for the enjoyment of it. Had the Forum and Facebook and YouTube been around back then, I may have taken a different approach. With ALL the associations I’ve had with other steel guitarist in just he last few years, that I never had back when, I think I would’ve thrived just from the inspiration that I NOW receive from everybody.

Jule was a jewel, "The Mayor of Broadway" what a sweet and genuine person.
I was fortunate enough to know him for many yrs while I lived and played full time on Broadway and Printers Alley.
Thanks for mentioning his name, he & his dog made a lot of folks smile
