Earth Day Celebration at Nashville's Centennial Park is always a success and this year was no exception. The day was beautiful, 70 degrees, slight breeze and just enough sun. My wife and I rode our bikes from our house to meet a friend downtown and we proceeded to ride to the park. It was about 5 miles total but oh so worth it. We had a fantastic day. There were over 100 exhibitors, live music (of course, we are the Music City) and literally thousands of Nashvillians enjoying the day. Here is an end of the day video I shot on my phone.
The Dynamites rock the band shell. Enjoy

Stay Sharp, good luck and be well!

Fox Carrington, food critic for the Nashville Scene calls Bombay Palace [....gem of an Indian restaurant....]
Last weekend, my wife and I decided we would try it. We are both foodies and love the unique experience of Indian cuisine and let me just say, we were not disappointed. We went during lunch and were immediately put at an open table. When we entered the restaurant, the first thing we noticed was the sweet aroma of Indian spice. The curries and cardamoms filled the room. It was nicely appointed and the owners and their staff were clearly experienced at making all their customers feel at home. They were polite and very attentive.
The lunch buffet was very fresh (one of my biggest concerns of buffets) and had many choices. I chose several items, including a "chefs special" rice with cardamom and turmeric and then added vegetable aloo, saag paneer, a lentil entree, potato entree and Tikka Masala. It was heavenly. The waiter brought a fresh serving of Naan, a indian flatbread that is literally slapped on to the side of a special oven and then allowed to bake. Some of the best I have had.
We plan on going back often, particularly since it is so close to where we live. The real test will be the Biryani. Our favorite Indian dish. If they pass that, which I have a very strong suspicion they will, then they have a customer for a long time.
They are open for lunch and dinner and are within walking distance of Vanderbilt, several offices and hotels on the West End corridor.
Recommendation: Definitely try it!

The documentary film maker /producer /director was the key note speaker at Belmont University last night here in Nashville. Mr. Burns who has won many accolades and awards for his documentary films, like the Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, and World War II among many, many more, gave a truly inspiring talk that lasted for more than an hour.
He began the night with a short piece from his "The War" series in his famous style known as The Ken Burns Effect and played to a beautiful original song about the dedication of our greatest citizens on being Americans sung by Norah Jones. It was a perfect introduction to his subject of history and memory from the point of view of the participants and unsung heroes of our past and how their sacrifice is quickly becoming a faded memory in our collective consciousness.
He invoked the spirit of Abraham Lincoln (the greatest US President, in his opinion) and how his words and actions helped shape our country and "paradoxically" tore the nation apart in order to put it back together. It was an eloquently crafted speech. Mr Burns has a command of the English language unmatched by any writer or scholar and his delivery was passionate and yet at the same time emotional and convincing. Like a true historian, it was not sentimental nor nostalgic, but factual and viewed through the mirror of events that could only be seen through the eyes of an unbiased historian.
It was truly a remarkable evening. If you have not had the opportunity to see him and he comes even close to your town, see him! In lieu of that, check out his documentaries. His view of history and unique way of telling its story is worth every minute of the experience.
Have a great day!
Some of Ken Burns films:
The War - 2007
The Civil War - 1990
Jazz - 2001
Baseball - 1994
Mark Twain - 2001
Thomas Jefferson - 1997
Frank Lloyd Wright - 1998
....and many more
