Entertainment in Nashville

After trading some emails with Nashville area music folks I got this back:

Also, if you are staying at Opryland you should check out the Opry
Plaza parties on Friday and Saturday evenings. While you are here, you
can see...
August 5
John Cowan (formerly of New Grass Revival - one of the best singers
ever)
Julie Lee (awesome songwriter)

August 6
Junior Brown (the infamous)
Paul Burch & the WPA Ballclub (another local person who is terrific)


Junior Brown is way cool! He plays the git-steel. He puts the boogie in my butt. I've been known to get up and dance to Junior!

I'll be coming in Friday; have room reserved and room in it to spare. Have 10 minutes to present on Pruning Storm-Damaged Trees, same topic I had a whole hour on last year. don't worry, this year will be mostly new stuff. 3 others on the panel; should be interesting to see if it devolves into a debate like, "Resolved: Heading Cuts on Mature Trees can be Proper Pruning".

My hope is there will not be much blood spilled /forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, as we strive for and reach some kind of compromise and consensus. But there will be some very differing viewpoints heard, I suspect. /forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hi Guy, hard to believe you're new to this forum but if so , welcome, welcome!! I saw you speak on this topic in MN 2003(?) There shouldn't be much blood spilled over this. As I recall you had said that heading cuts might be acceptable on severely storm damaged trees as opposed to removing the tree entirely. Makes sense to me. A tree that's been hit hard can either be removed and replaced(logical), or the breaks cleaned up with strategic heading cuts and let it try to come back with careful monitoring then eventually crown restoration pruning techniques. The decision would be based on many factors- the tree itself, potential hazards, amount of damage, mindset of the treeowner, mindset of the arborist, etc. Am I close here? I'll try to drop in on your discussion in Nashville, I'm very interested to see where your research has taken you (and us).
