awards. 1346 01:02:58,602 --> 01:03:01,778 I thought a lot about the Bluebird's place in the Nashville community 1347 01:03:01,812 --> 01:03:04,332 and how to make sure that it will be here for songwriters 1348 01:03:04,366 --> 01:03:06,748 and for Nashville for years to come. 1349 01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:09,406 And for that reason, I've made the decision 1350 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,789 to entrust to the hands of Nashville Songwriters Association International, 1351 01:03:12,823 --> 01:03:14,998 as of January 2008. 1352 01:03:16,896 --> 01:03:20,106 NICHOLS: Amy just decided she wanted to retire after her 25 years. 1353 01:03:20,141 --> 01:03:22,764 And she had options, lots of people that 1354 01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:25,422 perhaps wanted to take over the Bluebird Cafe. 1355 01:03:25,456 --> 01:03:28,943 But she decided she wanted to protect its legacy 1356 01:03:28,977 --> 01:03:32,049 and make sure it was a home for songwriters. 1357 01:03:32,084 --> 01:03:34,776 So she choose to turn it over to NSAI. 1358 01:03:34,811 --> 01:03:37,227 So, it's not only songwriter's showcase, 1359 01:03:37,261 --> 01:03:38,918 that place where you go to your songwriters. 1360 01:03:38,953 --> 01:03:42,370 It's a place where the songwriting community owns it. 1361 01:03:42,404 --> 01:03:45,856 WOMAN 3: She left it in good hands to respect her... 1362 01:03:45,891 --> 01:03:48,445 Her life's blood, her baby you know. 1363 01:03:48,479 --> 01:03:50,827 And also to make sure all of us songwriters 1364 01:03:51,586 --> 01:03:52,656 still had a place to go. 1365 01:03:52,690 --> 01:03:54,658 One of my dearest friends in the industry 1366 01:03:54,692 --> 01:03:56,384 is Erika Wollam Nichols 1367 01:03:56,418 --> 01:03:58,765 who succeeded Amy Kurland. 1368 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,285 Grows up from being a waitress. 1369 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,046 She understands 1370 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:04,599 what this club means. 1371 01:04:04,633 --> 01:04:07,602 She understands how important it is. 1372 01:04:07,636 --> 01:04:09,776 And she understands how dang cool it is. 1373 01:04:13,815 --> 01:04:17,094 NICHOLS: Although I had done many, many things at the Bluebird, 1374 01:04:17,129 --> 01:04:21,581 to actually take over Bluebird was a big learning curve. 1375 01:04:21,616 --> 01:04:26,069 To really understand how a small business operates from every aspect. 1376 01:04:26,103 --> 01:04:28,174 Our budget was getting by, 1377 01:04:28,209 --> 01:04:30,176 but it wasn't terrific. 1378 01:04:30,211 --> 01:04:33,490 So I needed to work on finding new ways 1379 01:04:33,524 --> 01:04:35,664 to generate revenue for the venue. 1380 01:04:35,699 --> 01:04:37,528 And at that point, 1381 01:04:37,563 --> 01:04:41,325 unfortunately, I got a call from Steve Buchanan at the Grand Ole Opry, 1382 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,879 who was working with Callie Khouri to create 1383 01:04:42,913 --> 01:04:45,122 a new television show called Nashville. 1384 01:04:45,157 --> 01:04:47,504 And they wanted Bluebird team involved in that. 1385 01:04:47,538 --> 01:04:50,679 So I thought, "well, here's our opportunity." 1386 01:04:59,723 -->

and drives 1395 01:05:22,884 --> 01:05:24,713 songwriters and artists. 1396 01:05:24,748 --> 01:05:26,577 CALLIE KHOURI: If you're gonna do a show about Nashville, 1397 01:05:26,612 --> 01:05:28,959 you have to put a stake in the ground 1398 01:05:28,994 --> 01:05:30,685 around the songwriters, 1399 01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:33,343 and is the place that is been the most supportive of the

of course, nobody knew whether the show was gonna take off to not. 1406 01:05:51,637 --> 01:05:53,087 And once it did, 1407 01:05:53,121 --> 01:05:55,675 they determined that it would be a good idea 1408 01:05:55,710 --> 01:05:57,677 to re-create the Bluebird, 1409 01:05:57,712 --> 01:06:00,577 and to build a set that is absolutely remarkable. 1410 01:06:01,267 --> 01:06:03,097 And action! 1411
