It is obvious that artist Larry Wamble has spent a lot of time in Music City USA. It all started on childhood trips with his family. His father was an agent for a Nashville head-quartered insurance company that owned the high-powered radio station WSM and the legendary Grand Ole Opry (a bit of trivia: The insurance company's logo was a shield and their motto was "We Shield Millions." Hence the letters for the radio station WSM.)
Larry's apt slogan for his Nashville print, "Where Dreamers Become Legends", not only speaks to the immense musical talent that has always been a vital part of Nashville but also to the dynamics, whether it be business, sports, or entertainment, of a great historical and progressive city.
"I think all of your prints are great but Nashville really got my attention. As I looked at it I experienced the same feeling I always get when I am standing in front of the Ryman Auditorium. Another great job Larry!"
Marty Stuart
