About the Spoke
Anybody that was in or around Nashville from the mid 1990’s until 2002 know all about the Spoke.  There is not one songwriter that does not have a special memory of that venue.  When the writers speak of the ‘Spoke,’ as it was so lovingly referred to, they speak of it with love.  The writers speak of the magic, the camaraderie and the hit songs that were inspired there.   The room had an air of creativity about it that has not been duplicated in any venue since. 


Lee Rascone' was one of the hosts at the Spoke as well as Debi Champion and Dale Burie.  Jack Scott hosted there for a time as well as Barbara Cloyd but Lee and Debi were truly part of the heart and soul of the Spoke. 

The owner Mark Borns, a creative soul himself wanted a place where the writers would feel at home and could inspire one another. He spoke with Lee and they decided that they wanted the room to feel like it was just some good old friends sitting on a front or back porch picking and playing tunes.  That is when it was decided that the Spoke stage would be just that, it was built to look like a front or back porch. 

Be sure to get there by 6:00 p.m. or you may not get a seat. 

Let the magic begin again!  

This is a premier listening room full of ambiance, vibe and will have some of the best writer’s in Nashville, TN taking the stage on Wednesday & Thursday nights via Lee Rascone.  With Lee’s son Lee Jay running the sound board, the sound is always pristine.  
The venue is located inside of the Millennium Maxwell House, 2025 Rosa L. Parks Boulevard, Nashville, TN, 37228
Operating Hours for Maxwell’s are:

Maxwell’s the Lounge is open daily from 2:00pm - 11:00pm 
Live music begins at 7:00 p.m. central time. 
FREE PARKING, great food and drinks and phenomenal music.  Sounds like a perfect night to me.

Profile of Suffering for 8 years under President Obama

8 years of suffering under Barack Obama President Barack Obama The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.” Fair enough. Let’s take a look. The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled, closing at 21,414. General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest. While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11. Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. He drew down the number of troops
