If this is your birthday, congratulations! Also celebrating today is one of country music's best known "watering hole's". Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, opens on lower Broadway in Nashville, in 1960, just around the corner from the Grand Ole Opry. The small, lavender bar becomes a hangout for the likes of Willie Nelson, Harlan Howard, Hank Cochran and Mel Tillis.
