If Woods gave you directions to that bar by saying it's in Printer's Alley, he must not want you to drink with him. That bar is not in Printer's Alley. With your knowledge of Nashville you should think about going into management at the Tennessean.

Brandon's is a whole 2 miles from Five Points and no crappy East Nashville bands play there, which makes it hella uncool, so Silverman doesn't hang there.
D'oh!
Jimmy...
You are absolutely right. I've only been a couple times, and I was remembering in an alley next to Printers Alley, but it's a block away. Fifty lashes for me. Is the Tennessean hiring?
Let's see. It's in an alley that bisects the Arcade. Why not all it Arcade Alley?
Nah. Too easy.
(Is this the same, though renamed, haunt where Chesty Morgan once performed?)

I believe you are referring to an establishment that was called the Red Lion Lounge.
I know about that establishment because many moons ago back in the Cretaceous era,
I had a part time job working at the main office of Third National Bank - which was right near where that joint was.
Emmett,
So named because the best fossils have been found on a certain island in the Eastern Mediterranean?
