I first visited Music Row and Opryland in 1997 as part of the International Association for Food Protection annual meeting (I may have the year wrong).

I went back to Music Row in 2004, to give a talk to a grocery group, oh, and catch John Prine one night and Lyle Lovett the next at the Ryman.

If my church wasn’t the local hockey arena, it would be the Ryman.

But over at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Metro health officials now say that they have confirmed 3 Norovirus cases.

Metro Public Health Department officials have been working closely with Opryland Hotel and the Tennessee Department of Health since being asked by the hotel to investigate the cases last Thursday.
