    You should let Bill DeMain show you around Nashville. It'll be the best part of your trip downtown!

    I am 68 years old and I loved Ernest Tubb's music, he was country when country wasn't cool. He was a great loss to country music and his record shop kept it alive. Thanks for this video, Bill DeMain and thanks to you Otis Gibbs for recording it.

    This is soul-crushing. ET has long been my favorite singer and songwriter. To see his legacy erode is just heartbreaking.

    I'm hoping Marty Stuart will get all the memorabilia (the neon, suits, instruments, etc.) Marty is THE guy for valuing and preserving those things.

    Man what a bummer. The Ernest Tubb record shop in Pigeon Forge Tennessee closed and I put it off to covid. I've been in the store in Nashville and you really could literally feel The vibes of that place. A huge loss for Nashville. That store should be on the national register of historic places.

    What a great loss. Every time I was in Nashville, I went there. A treasure of country music.

    Thanks Otis! I was fortunate to get to visit ET's record shop in the 90's gonna miss it as well as all of old Nashville as it seems.

    End of an era. When I was 14 I played with Buck Owens' cousin, Dale Owens, and Dale was discovered by Ernest and taken on the road with him. I knew well how big of a star he was. Lower Broad won't be the same without the record shop. :-(

    A thank-you to the independent record sellers who were the ambassadors to music beyond the current reach in pre 60’s promoted music.

    That shop was on my bucket list ever since I seen it on Coal Miner's Daughter, 30 some years ago! Such a sad day knowing that this piece of history will be gone! Never been to the town yet...but dang, just dang!

    This interview is a surprise gem - really enjoyed it. "High Five" Otis ~ thank you for sharing. A visit to Nashville is on my list, but I wonder if I'll be charmed and amaze (I hope so) or will it all flash & smoke (I went to Vegas and after day 3 was very ready to get the heck out).

    Wow, so sad to see this legendary place go away. I had the honor of playing there in 2002 with Marty Stuart, Connie Smith and the late great Jimmy Capps.

    Bills tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Nashville. Sad to hear about the closing. Nice to see Bill again. He’s a gem.

    In the early 80s they closed the ryman when they built the opry house. It was in the plans to tear down the ryman cause it was literally falling apart. But enough people wanted to keep it. It’s now a museum and a historical building. Hopefully they can do the same with tubbs.

    Ol Troubador helped many, many struggling artists n many ways, personally and professionally. He is the one that told Merle he needed a standout lead guitarist with a style that would make his music what it was...and Roy was the man.
