This is my Facebook account of the Nashville Flood Relief Telethon from tonight's Vince Gill and Friends on WSMV Channel4 TV in Nashville, Tennessee. Latest of my posts are toward the top, earliest posts are at the bottom:  I am friends on Facebook with Vince Gill and many of the other country music singers who were on the show tonight and I was happy to see them all join in to help the Flood Relief cause!

$1,706,386 raised for flood relief tonight with this concert, Vince Gill and Amy Grant gave $100,000 and so did Reba McEntire. Taylor Swift gave $500,000 to all the charities for the Flood Relief efforts in Nashville. Great work, ladies and Gentlemen!

Nancy's note: Even though we live in Hendersonville, right at the edge of Nashville, we consider ourselves "Nashvillians", too, having lived in several areas of Nashville in earlier years, and my husband was born and raised in Nashville, and Madison, TN.
Yes, We are Nashville, too!
