Along
the first road into Tennessee, the Avery Trace, as well the historic
Walton Road that ran parallel to Highway 70, many believed they would
reach a "promised land" at the end of their journey. One of those
pioneers was future President Andrew Jackson.

Susan Whitaker, and me at the opening of the Promised Land Trail at
Nashville Train Station Oct 11, 2011. Trails of Tennessee, the song I wrote for this initiative with " It's a slice of heaven in the Promised Land" a line in the second verse, was inspired by the 514 miles of the historic Promised Land Trail.

Commerce as we de-boarded the train in Watertown, Tennessee...along the
Promised Land Trail. What an honor it was to be invited to share my song
at this gala!
