Last week, at Fontanel for the Nashville Flipside show, we got to talk with a lot of really neat folks. All the performers were just the bees knees – as we knew they would be – and true to the Nashville form, they were all as nice as a tall mint julep.

We caught up with Sweetwater Rose for a bit. We’ve been trying to get together for what seems like months, now, and it was a real pleasure to finally meet them. Just before sundown, me ‘n the gals climbed up in a purty old Chevy for a comfy seat, taking advantage of the fact that it was quiet outside.

Big thanks to apprentice Jedi S J, as director and camera-man. Oh, and there’s a recipe for that mint julep, below, but watch the video first.
