Paducah is loverly in September I am told. Right on the Ohio River. Hancock's of Paducah is a very dangerous store. And no, I did not sit on the bench while the GF was shopping. I shipped three boxes of fabric back to California. There are a couple of other good stores with VERY knowledgeable people in Paducah.
Nashville is a short distance away, the home of the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's plantation Home. A real requirement to see if there is a history buff in the house. Lots of good music there too.
A show is a show is a show. I generally get my fill at the Pacific Rim show every year in Santa Clara (three miles from my house). I would go to Padukaville. tim in san jose
