I'm doing a repost as I have been reviewing my photos looking for song photos.
Hello Trouble
December 2014 - Nashville TN
I knew the name Ernie Tubbs but not much else about him. This was a charming museum in Nashville.
Tour bus of Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadours from 1970-1979. This 1964 Silver Eagle was orginally purchased by Mr. Tubb in 1970 from Trailways Bus Company. It was used by Mr. Tubb and the Texas Troubadours for traveling purposes only. During its years of service over three million miles were logged. It traveled to all 48 Continental states as well as Canada. Mr. Tubb retired the bus in 1979 and donated it to the Ernest Tubb Record Shop for public viewing. In 1995, it was restored to its original state and was put on permanent display in the Ernest Tubb Record Shop, Music Valley Village in Nashville. Admission is free.
This is the first I've heard of him!

ReplyDeleteI, too, haven't heard of Ernest Tubb before. It looks like he had quite a career. Anne's Snapshot Saturday
