About this audio guide
This guide to Skull's Rainbow Room in Nashville follows David "Skull" Schulman, the flamboyant founder who ran the basement club in Printer's Alley for half a century, famous for walking dyed poodles on rhinestone leashes and giving away cash to anyone who needed a meal. It traces the fine-dining-and-burlesque nights that drew Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, through the ordinary evening in nineteen ninety-eight when that generosity caught up with him. You will hear how the room remembers him today, cocktail and all.
