Dueling Pianos at the Big Bang Bar

Hey there Dear Listeners - Received an interesting email from a Dave Delaney the other day.

Turns out Dave, the New Media Manger at Emma, (an extremely hip looking local email marketing company that I’ve heard several people mention around town), had listened to the last show and, being a fan of the Littlest Hobo and also a Podcaster himself, asked if I wanted to meet up.

Now, I have to be honest with you, (the LTA ‘Commitment to Reality’ and all that), I really am taken aback by the friendliness of this town. I’ve never experienced such warmth and hospitality from any of the myriad places I’ve been, (this is not to detract from Belfast of course - though as we know there were some problems there).

Dave suggested we meet up at the ‘The Big Bang Bar’ - home of the Dueling Pianos! I was excited ’cause as anybody who knows me well will tell you: I’m all about the Dueling Pianos.

It turns out that Geoff Smith the Dueling Pianist who runs the joint, (the gentleman that you see above with that wonderful beatific expression on his face), had spent some time off the Shankill working with Habitat for Humanity! So yes of course it is a small world after all - and further proof to me that once you’ve been to Belfast it’ll follow you forever.

Anyhew, I had a lovely evening chatting with Dave about the various scenes here in Nashville - expect to hear him on the Show soon, and if you’re ever in Nashville and don’t know what to do - I’m tellin’ ya you could do a lot worse than go to the Big Bang Bar on Broadway.

They’ve got Dueling Pianos!

(p.s. Below is another pic I took last night - I’ve noticed something in the photo - an anomaly that’s very strange, dare I say it - spooky. First one to figure out what it is and let us know gets some sort of Prize).
