Scouting Nashville and Jobs


One of the best things I did before I moved to Nashville was take a trip there to visit and get to know my way around. It was a big decision for me, and what better way to get good information than to actually experience it? There are many creative ways to make a trip to Nashville. First I had to get over the idea of not having any money. I loved my job, but it didn’t provide any holiday or vacation pay. That didn’t matter to me, since my job was my passion, however, to take a week off without pay, or withthout any gigs, may produce some problems. I had to realize that I needed to focus on what I wanted. I could make the payments I needed to, it would just be a little tight. I had to move with complete abandon. If I had to ask my landlord for a couple of extra days to pay the rent, or sell something, I was going to do it. I had to go to Nashville, I knew once I was there, I would know if it is the right decision to move.

Lucky for me I have the parents I do. They both wanted to go to Nashville as well, after I told them what I was going to do. This pretty much took care of the trip costs, including gas, lodging and food. I helped where I could, mainly with driving. It was a great trip, and I got to spend some time with my parents, and they felt more at ease with my move having been to Nashville.
