Perhaps not quite so basic...lol



Every studio you go to in Nashville will generally have its own slightly different version of the Nashville Number system.

The idea of course was to make it easy for key changes etc. No need to write a new chart and so on. I used to hang out with Owen Bradley as a young teen, he and my Aunt were good friends. Anyway he showed me this a long long time ago. It was very popular in the Nashville studios hence the name. I am sure others had similar systems in place.

Do copyist get work anymore? With everything electronic anymore seems like you can make changes on the computer and print out the music for the whole orchestra. Remember the days when Nelson Riddle would orchestrate a song in the back of his car on the way to the studio, some poor soul had to create all the parts for all the players, then they would rehearse it, record it all in the same day.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
