In April 2021, following a third thwarted attempt at Creation’s 2020 Nashville convention, FanWorld published an article as a kind of goodbye to their hopes of ever making the trip.
A love letter to Richard’s hometown, “Nashville, the Speight Way” featured recommendations and recollections from the man himself, local musicians Boy Named Banjo, and fans familiar with the city. It would become our most popular feature, and be used as a resource by readers visiting the Athens of the South.
But, as fate would have it, that article wasn’t the end of FanWorld’s Nashville story. Earlier this month, we finally got that 2020 do-over. And I can think of no better way to mark this longed-for event, than with another article on Music City.
So, as a Christmas gift to each of you, our holiday offering this year is “Nashville, the FanWorld Way”.
