Ty Herndon and Lee Roy Parnell singing ‘In The Round’ at the Bluebird Cafe

Went to a ‘Writers In The Round’ Songwriters Night at the Bluebird Cafe and saw Ty Herndon, Joanna Cotten (writer of ‘I Need You’ and ‘Some People’ for LeAnn Rimes), Dennis Matkosky (writer of ‘Maniac’ from the movie ‘Flashdance’ and Keith Urban’s ‘You’ll Think Of Me’ and Greg Barnhill (writer of Trisha Yearwood’s big hit ‘Walkaway Joe’). Ty sang several of his hits from the mid 90’s. It was a surprise to us to find out that Ty had invited a special guest to sing a few songs for everyone. After a few rounds from the others, Lee Roy Parnell joined in and worked his magic on the slide guitar. We had the pleasure of meeting all of the writers that night. Belinda was able to get her picture taken with Ty… and I got an autograph from Mr. Parnell. If you are ever in Nashville it would be worth your time to check out the Bluebird. A lot of artists got their start there including Garth Brooks and Faith Hill who had big showcases there. It only holds a little over 70 people but there is a lot of history there and a really great place to check out if you are in town.
