Jamey Whiting, left, and Harry Stevenson play in the main hall of the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in downtown Nashville. Part of the group Snappy Pappy, they play a free concert every month on a Monday when the museum has an outreach to senior citizens. The rest of the time, Whiting does studio work and Stevenson radio in the music city.

The magnificent Tiffany ceiling of the Union Station Hotel bathed in morning light. The hotel was originally the railroad station for the city, built between 1898-1900, in an era when travel was exotic and unique. Men kissed their families and went off to four wars from it's platforms, presidents and gangsters passed though, and millions of ordinary citizens traveling east and west, north and south, departed or arrived on the tracks along it's lower level. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, underwent an $11 million renovation in 2007 and is run by Wyndham Historic Hotels.
