Historic Instruments destroyed in Tennessee

Nashville is known for it’s music. There is a reason they call it music city.  The Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville housed some of the most historic instruments of our time.  These are the instruments that made all the great music generations grew up on.  The recent floods have taken their toll on these instruments. This video shows us some of the damaged instruments that were recovered after the waters receded.

 

The floods have done more than just damaged some wood and steel though.  Many are displaced, many have lost their lives, and so many have lost everything.  While these instruments are irreplaceable it should not diminish the struggle that many in Tennessee are facing.  I encourage everyone to try to help out by donating their time, money, or goods and services to get this great American city back on it’s feet.
