Granville Automatic, which began in Atlanta and is now based in Nashville, recently released its album Radio Hymns. The title track recounts how the Ryman Auditorium was saved just as it was about to be demolished in the 1970s. BY JEFF MARTIN Associated Press From a public hanging on Nashville’s Music Row to the days when a young and still unknown guitar player named Jimi Hendrix walked the city’s streets, a band is documenting Nashville’s forgotten history in songs and videos. Granville Automatic, which got its start in Atlanta and is now based in Nash ville, recently released its album “Radio Hymns.” The title track recounts how the Ryman Auditorium was saved just as it was about to be demolished in the 1970s. The former church that became home to the Grand Ole Opry radio show and still hosts music shows, was built with help from river- boat Capt. Thomas Ryman. He helped build the church after finding Jesus at a tent revival. Ryman “wanted to save people — he felt Nashville needed saving,” said Gran ville Automatic songwriter and guitarist Elizabeth Elkins. “I like to think the build ing is still saving people, even though it’s through music rather than through God,” Elkins said. The band released an album of songs inspired by Civil War battles in 2015, then filmed videos on the battlefields and in the places where the stories played out in the 1860s. Future proj ects in the works include an album about lost buildings of New York City. Another album focused on Texas his tory, the home state of band member Vanessa Olivarez, is also planned. In developing “Radio Hymns,” Elkins consulted with archivists and sought out antique books from a Nashville book store so she could get historical accounts more authentic than those available on the internet. “Historians, authors, and longtime musicians here in town had some great stories that led us to songs,” she said. Among them: Musician Jim Lauderdale shared a story about how Jimi Hen drix spent nearly a year honing his music in clubs along Nashville’s Jefferson street, which were later demolished to make way for an Interstate 40 interchange. In another song, the band recounts the story of Gus Hyatt, a train robber who masterminded a scheme to smuggle dynamite and guns into the Tennessee State Prison. After years of plan ning, he blew up a wall of the building in 1902, a blast that killed several inmates and allowed him to escape. “Black Avenue Gallows” documents the last legal public hanging in Nashville, which took place in 1865 in an alley of what came to be known as Music Row for its multiple recording stu dios music industry offices. A large crowd gathered to watch four thieves being hanged just outside what’s now RCA Studio B, where Elvis Presley would later record many of his hit songs. The band also studied let ters between former Presi dent Andrew Jackson and his wife, Rachel, to craft a song about their Nashville romance. Rachel Jackson had been married before she met Jackson. The former presi dent’s political opponents seized on that to attack him, suggesting that she was still married when she fell in love with Jackson. Rachel Jackson came down with an illness that seemed to have stricken her heart and lungs, and stress worsened her condition. Jackson blamed his politi cal enemies for her death in 1828, according to accounts from Andrew Jackson’s presidential library, The Hermitage. In the future, the band aims to produce an album of ghost stories by staying in places said to be haunted and craft songs on the spot, writing them “in the moment,” Elkins said. The working plan for that record also involves Karla K. Morton, who was appointed poet laureate of Texas in 2010, writing poems to accompany the songs. KITCHEN INSPECTIONS The following are among the food service establishments inspected from Nov. 19 - Nov 20., by the Hall County Environmental Health Department. Food service establishments are given a letter grade that coincides with a percentile: “A” (90-100), “B” (80-89), “C” (70-79), “U” 69 and below. Inspections (frequency of) a food service establishment are conducted based on risk categorization. The risk type is determined by the menu items served, the food preparation processed performed, and the previous food safety history in the food service establishment. A new food service establishment that has never served food must score 100 (A) to receive a food service permit to operate. When a restaurant changes ownership, a new food service permit must be issued. To be issued a permit for a change of ownership, the establishment must score a 95 (A) or above with all food borne illness risk factors and public health interventions in compliance. Permits must be posted in public view at all times. Establishments with drive-thru windows will also be required to have the top one-third of a copy of the most current inspection report visible through each window allowing customers to easily read the score, date of inspection and establishment information, in addition to the copy posted inside the establishment.
