Oh, good grief...we have enough trouble being stereotyped by people who have never been to Nashville.
There
are farms outside of town. I should have added that the banjo twang was as likely to be emanating from a music star's mansion as a gathering of good ole boys (UT grads).
There are lots of country music stars, very wealthy ones too. I always enjoyed seeing Charlie Daniels around campus. When I was there, Leon Russell and Greg Allman were around a lot too, I saw them several times at that breakfast place over near the law school. I remember once there was local band playing on the lawn outside the old gymnasium and Greg walked up, a little unsteadily, and asked if he could join in and they played for what seemed like hours.
Anyway, when does practice start? Do they start back in the second week of January?
