When
Bee Gees
legend Barry Gibb purchased Johnny and June Carter Cash's lakefront home
in nearby Hendersonville, Nashville's music community buzzed with
excited anticipation. On Wednesday, Dec. 13, BMI hosted an intimate
reception at its Music Row offices for Mr. Gibb, along with his wife
Linda and their two sons, Ashley and Stephen. The aim was simple: to
introduce one of music's most preeminent songwriters to Music City's
finest.
Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell, Hendersonville Mayor Scott Foster, BMI
President & CEO Del Bryant, industry executive A-listers, and a slew of
blue ribbon songwriters and artists were on hand to personally welcome
Mr. Gibb to town.
