The Singing Bartender
Opryland is full of surprises. In a place this huge, why wouldn't it be? There's something new and interesting around every corner (and since I have no sense of direction and keep getting lost, I've turned around a lot of corners).
One surprise I found yesterday: Blanche the Singing Bartender. Yes, I said singing bartender. I popped into the Delta Lounge for a drink yesterday and thought a version of "Proud Mary" I'd never heard before was playing on the radio. Then I thought, wow, this bartender's sure heard it before, because she's lip-syncing perfectly. Then I realized, holy $%^#, it's not the radio, she's singing it!
I mean, it's one thing for someone to sing while she's pouring drinks. It's another for her to sing while she's pouring drinks ... with an amazing voice! You haven't been served a beer until you've been served a beer by a bartender who's belting out "Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue" -- flawlessly.
Blanche is from New Jersey and down here for a gig through Wednesday. (And, yes, she does conventions, events, and parties.) On Tuesday night, there's a lot of stuff going on, I know, but treat yourself at some point from 5-8pm by stopping by the Delta Lounge (in the Delta Island area of Opryland) for a drink and a pleasantly surprising experience.
