The trucker hat, long hair and mustache, flannel shirt and oversized glasses aren’t affectations to cultivate a stage persona as the B-side of a 1970-something Bob Seger single—it’s just Slay. “There’s still a lot of jokes to come. I looked at everything as experience,” he says. “Let’s not get mad about it, let’s enjoy it.” Just this year, at age 36, Slay has become the youngest comedian to ever perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry Stage in his adopted hometown of Nashville. He’s notched three appearances in front of “my people” at the Holy Land of country music in less than six months and has also been tapped to host CMA Festival’s Forever Country Stage in June to keep fans laughing between appearances by the biggest stars in country music.

In the face of a burgeoning metropolis, inbound corporate giants tend to squash mom and pop shops. ****Watch this episode and subscribe at https://youtu.be/myap_6a6AGA Gary Forkum was the owner of Forks Drum Closet in Nashville Tennessee. What started as a closet full of cymbals and sticks in the back of a music store in 1982, grew into the premier pro drum shop in music city and on elf the greatest in the world. It offered educational events, lessons, repairs, trade ins and online sales. But his story isn't about a local mom and pop drum shop up against the huge big box retail music stores. It's about how he made Fork's into a national destination of sorts for those who visited Nashville. The spot was always a favorite “hang out” for session and touring musicians who would mix and mingle with local hobbyists and tourists, Gary Forkum recently retired after selling the business in 2018 with wife Melissa Forkum to Steve Maxwell, Debbie Maxwell and Elizabeth Cabraser. The trio owns and operates Steve Maxwell Vintage and Custom Drums shops in both Chicago and New York City. Gary is still an active drummer juggling up to four different bands including The Midnight Riders, (an Allman Brothers tribute band) the World Famous Channel Cats and his original project, The Blues Apostles.

Aaron McGill LOVES his job. McGill grew up in Western Kentucky where, around age 10, his parents recognized his need for a different type of education. They presented him with the opportunity to apprentice as a tailor under his mother. McGill’s parents have since passed away, but the business remains their legacy. “Being a tailor is one of the most rewarding things I’ve experienced. With our roots firmly planted in the rich soil that is the ever evolving city of Nashville, we are a small business with large aspirations. Unlike other ownership stories, mine is a bit unique. I’ve never held another job and never punched a clock for anyone. I’ve done nothing but sew since I was in my single digits”, says McGIll. The McGills started off making costumes for Egyptian show horses and their riders, and eventually began working with Louise Mandrell, outfitting her for her for the stage. This ultimately led to working with other country music artists including Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, and Jason Aldean. In 2018, McGill launched a line of custom clothing designed to compete with other made-to-measure companies in Nashville. Made-to-measure garments derive from patterns altered to fit your own measurements.
