Firstly, the CMHOF museum was excellent, with exhibits portraying the history of country music right up to the modern day with the large Luke Combs display. We took the self guided tour of the museum to take it at our own pace but cheekily overheard some of the official guides commentary at some exhibits before moving on.
Now, special shout out to Ron our guide for the Studio B section of the ticket. This man was worth all admission tickets on his own!! Honestly, without a script he demonstrated so much historical knowledge and insights both before leaving the museum, travelling on the bus, touring the studio and return journey it was incredible! Ron has so much passion for the studio and tour that it’s infectious.
Studio B was a jaw dropping moment to be in the same studio where Elvis recorded so much of his hit music, as well as other artists and to stand on the ‘sweet spot’ was awesome. The only (minor) disappointment was not having time for outside photos due to the tight tour schedules.
Whilst not being too sure about the Hatch Print Studio Tour, really pleased to have gone on it with our two guide hosts, again providing so much information in an interesting and humorous fashion, keeping it light and engaging. Thank you
