NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Scott Hinds fell into food guides tours. Scott was a booking agent, but COVID hit and shut down so many shows.

He'd recently become a new parent and needed money.

After encouragement from friends, who knew Scott was a born storyteller, he started offering tours to some of Nashville’s top restaurants.

It was a hit! Now, how he became a hit-makers, involves food, but not in the way you might think. He saved someone’s life. A person taking the tour, began choking on their meal!

Thankfully, Scott is certified in CPR and clearly it came in handy. Although he’d been trained for years, he even had some doubts doing it in real life, with someone’s life in danger for the first time.

So, Scott wins the hitmakers award and before Scott can even go and accept it, Scott is leading another tour a few days before and someone starts choking -- again! Of course, Scott saved her as well! A true superhero!

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
