The event itself was so much fun and amazing, but what I really love thinking about is what people can create when they come together with their generosity and great ideas. The land was donated and named after the Warner Brothers, Percy and Edwin. At the same time, prominent horsemen in Nashville were looking to build a course that could rival the best in England. With money provided by FDR’s Works Progress Administration in the early 40’s, the first steeplechase in Nashville began in 1941. Now, because of their generosity and creativity, jockeys, trainers, owners, horses, and spectators come together every year to celebrate this annual tradition. I can easily relate this into my world of music; where writers, musicians, vocalists, mixers, and producers all come together to create a song, giving people enjoyment, lasting for generations. Most big and lasting things aren’t done alone! We need each other to create.
It was fun to be a part of this creative and collaborative Nashville tradition.
