This is our friend, Pork McElhinny. He and his wife, Cathy and son, Ryan moved to Nashville last November. We stayed with them while we were there. He is paying his dues at the honky tonks in Nashville. The first picture is at a place called the Wheel where he plays solo, the next two is at a place called Rippy's, where he plays with a guy named Paul. The last is at Rippy's but they are a trio. Rippy's is right across the street from the Somet Center where the CMA's were held this year...but no didn't see anyone. On Thursday, Pork played the Wheel and then went a played a Rippy's with Paul. Friday he played a double at Rippy's, first with Paul and then with the a band. He is working really hard at breaking into the business. A couple big name people have songs that he has written so maybe you will hear some on the radio soon and see Pork get an award for song writer of the year.
Cathy works at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. That place is HUGE!!!
They just recently bought a house in Greenbrier, there's a cool story behind that, ask me sometime and I'll let ya know. She loves horses too so they have a beautiful home with a barn for the horses.
