My wife and I lost our house in the 2010 Nashville flood. Thankfully we escaped to my folks place in Williamson County (they were untouched), so we didn't lose our cars or have our lives endangered, but when we came back to our neighborhood on Monday morning, our street was - as you described - a 'war zone.' When we went inside our house, it looked like someone had filled it with water and mud and shook it hard. The water mark line in our living room was around 6 feet and we lost pretty much everything on our first floor - furniture, my vinyl record collection, appliances... everything. Some of our neighbors that didn't get out had to be water rescued (the woman that lived down the street ended up on the cover of 'Time' magazine). They lost cars as well. Thankfully no one died or was injured. FEMA bought our house and turned my old street into a Metro park. It took us about 3 years to get back to some semblance of 'normal.' Needless to say our new home isn't near water and is on a hill!
This brought back so many memories! The Hammond, Oregon community really came together around this time. There were some amazing him and Leslie combinations in that same storage facility such a loss. This was a great history lesson video. Thank you, Zac! Peaes Norms guitar of the day is a 57 Esquire👍 looks mighty familiar
Quick tale.I worked in flood remediation and a schools complete pa (no speakers) was covered in flood water .I asked about it (giant rack mount pa with all the bells and whistles power amps ect)They said i could take it.I let it dry for a month and rewired it and it powered up and has worked great ever since.I got three Kustom upholstered speaker columns and its amazing. FREE.
New episode of Ask Zac is actually the best thing about Tuesday’s. I’ve been going back and watching your Truetone Lounge interviews between episodes to get my fix. You are an amazing interviewer and all round music historian!
Screw you Zak!!! As a drummer ive always loved my Fender esprit, I flame, and I daquisto and Gibson marauder and S1 type guitars and now? NOW? YOU have me hooked completely on teles. Cheers so much for your content man. I love it.
Wow, quite the story. One often sees CGI "wall o' water" scenes in movies and TV, but it's quite another thing to be actually running from one. We've had floods locally, where many homes were lost, people had to be rescued by canoes, and half the city was out there sandbagging to save what was left, but nothing like the 2010. Of course what partly made it so disastrous was that the Cumberland is an old river and just snakes around allover the place, rather than being straight. When I visited in 2009 (where we met when Bob Weil took me to lunch and back to the VS/TT facility), I recall Gibson had a kind of store-cum-"branch plant" at Opry Mills Mall, where shoppers/browsers could watch a variety of heritage acoustic instruments (mandolins, dulcimers, banjos, etc.) being built or repaired on the other side of the glass. The river snakes around on both sides of the mall, and I gather the area was flooded so badly that the mall (and the nearby Grand Ol' Opry itself) had to be closed for restoration and the Gibson store was closed for good. A buddy who teaches at Vanderbilt lives somewhere out in the Forest Hills area, I think, or nearby. He has a pretty impressive personal collection of guitars and amps. We met for dinner when I was down there for Summer NAMM a couple years ago, but I forgot to ask him if the 2010 had affected him. If I come down again, I'll have to remember to ask him this time. Short after the flood, I wrote to Ward Meeker of VG and said that I hoped they would devote some coverage to the consequences of the flood. He assured me they would, and true to his word, there were a number of articles about what it took to bring back some precious instruments "from the dead".
I’ll never forget the 2010 flood, luckily, my home, in Ashland City, was on a hill and not down in the holler, so aside from my work place flooding, we were unscathed, but my best friend and his father’s homes, on Chapmansboro Rd, down by Sycamore Rec, didn’t fair so well. My friend and his family had to be rescued from the 2nd floor of their home by a TWRA agent in a John-boat. After the water receded, you could see the water line on all of the trees near the Cumberland, it’s a sight I’ll never forget.
I remember seeing the news coverage of the flood and local musicians around Muscle Shoals being deeply saddened by it. On a side note, today marks the tenth anniversary of the April 27 tornado outbreak. A day I'll never forget and hope never happens again on such a devastating scale. Never underestimate nature's ability to suddenly become violent and frightening. Thanks for another great video Zac. Stay safe everyone.
awesome story i was doing a church gig and we played all night with some A-list artists and leapers fork is beautiful, thank god your ok Zac i was leaving out that night with Leanne Rimes.
What a gut wrenching story for guitar lovers, but you told it so well! Had me on the edge of my seat. One of my favorite things about your show is to see which guitar will be hiding in the background! 😆
You are the ultimate story teller, Zac. A most interesting tale about the Nashville flood up close and personal for you. What an unbelievable adventure you had.
I forgot to mention that I met Jack Pearson at Ruby’s in Nashville. He’s a real gentleman and a great musician . The LeBres band that Butch Trucks put together after The Allman Bros. was done was great and, Jack Pearson was playing and singing with them. He told me that he loved that band and was having such a great time . Sadly Butch took his own life. So much great talent in Nashville. I can’t wait to visit again this September
A damn shame to lose all them beautiful instruments, wow a dumble under water unbelievable. I remember watching a clip of Vince gill talking about the floods , good to hear your family was ok 😎
That storm flooded all the way up to Connecticut where I was. You have no idea how lucky you were to get out of that basement the ground got to a point when it couldn't hold any more water so basements were flooding fast within about 5 minutes.
Mind blowing story! I remember that time well as I was in Louisiana at the time. The loss was terrible; Peter Frampton lost a bunch of instruments and gear too. So sad. Sweet sound out of the old Vox!
Been in Nashville 6 years now. Those recent floods here, which were scary enough after one day of rain, had me thinking a lot about what 2010 must’ve been like. I live down the road from the Opry and just imagining that whole area underwater boggles my mind. Thanks for sharing your story though! That’s one your kids and grandkids will get sick of hearing 😅
Good heavens, Zac! That’s a heck of a story! Sounds like every hot guitar player in Nashville almost got wiped out, right there in Leapers Fork! John Fogerty ought to write a song about it! “Oh Lord, stuck in Leapers Fork again...”
I had just moved to town working on a project at a studio in Franklin living off Old Hickory. My shameful quote to my wife was “oh my God these poor people....HOLY CRAP ALL THE GEAR! “
I remember this all to well from you and Amy telling us about it at the time. Such an insane weekend for all of us. Your experience with it is not one that everybody can share, so it is neat to hear that again, especially your perspective of seeing SoundCheck.
I’ve been watching your show for about a month now,I also a gear nut but I love the sound and playability you get with light strings. Been using GHS NICKEL ROCKERS for at least 20 years on all my teles and strats . Guess I won’t be any of those bends with my 12/52 set. Maybe I’ll dedicate one tele to a different string size. Thanks for your great show
Man, that was a close call! I can relate somewhat having grown up in the Houston area and weathered many Hurricanes and associated flooding. But, that one snuck up on you all. Glad you came away unscathed!
Wow Zac, that is a really scary story man. I'm glad that you and your family were all OK. On a lighter note, your playing is always great but I really particularly enjoyed this one! Really superb and I'm just so impressed that you can crank out a flawless performance, take a breath and then do a twenty some odd minute video, perfectly delivered maintaining suspense and interest, and then break down the lick in a perfectly understandable way. All without any cuts in the take! That is a real talent!
I remember that I and all at Glasers were rocked by Williams owsleys death.I had a gig Sunday morning and left before sun up.I thought"what is that,Fog? And I was immediatly immersed in a truck killing flood.I unpacked Keith Urban and John Jorgenson lockers and was most shocked by the other table to my left.11 Goldtops peeling finish and maple tops and in front of me 39 church model Leslies ruined.
Crazy story. Glad you and your family was safe. John Jorgenssen was featured here recently. I recall a semi sorta round table discussion with him and a couple of other players who'd lost gear in the flood. John was pretty upset, seeming like he was the care taker of some vintage instruments and he let them down. Hope insurance helped.
Damn that’s a scary experience y’all never even wanna think about! I go to visit Nashville every year and heard about the terrible flooding and the destruction it caused. Now a first hand story.. my Lord glad y’all lived to tell us.
If I found myself in a flood zone, and Larry Carlton and Robben Ford were there playing a little concert for me, I think I would have assumed I had died in that flood, and gone to Heaven.....either that or someone had slipped some kind of hallucinogen into my Dr Pepper. Regardless, I would have been digging it. And, if my wife had said, "We gotta go....there's one way out!" I might have said, "OK....just one more song."
Great video! Recent follower and a fellow tele freak. Bought a Camo hat. First time I’ve ever bought a channels gear! Keep up the great videos......please.
I would have cried as guys like Brad paisley and Keith urban lost some coveted guitars and amps, did you get to see any of the guitars with flood damage??
@@AskZac i heard a fortunate thing was keith had his main tele, "Clarence" with him at home so it was spared, but he lost like another sunburst tele but i think they brought it back, and there was a sunburst 57 Les Paul Jr and that one was totally destroyed......his tech guy also said some that they brought back played better despite being soaked in the flood lol...its amazing how the guitars reacted differently to water....
Trying to picture in my minds eye your wife running to you with baby boy in tow telling you to get your shoes and shirt back on cause there’s a road out. Lol another great story. Thanks Zac
I understand about floods because I got lucky and made it through one but most of my neighbors didn't. A 2am flash flood hit and my house was on the highest ground on the road. All the neighbors were ok but a lot of loss of property and cars.
I played The Palace that Friday night and couldn't get through I-24 for the Saturday gig. My duo partner left his pickup in the lot the night before... and that was the end of that truck. 🤣. Many pickers had left their cars in the Opryland Hotel lot for various bus calls of course so they all got flooded. 13 inches of rain in 36 hrs... more than twice the previous recorded record. . Not much fun.
@@AskZac well I felt bad for the road dawgs mostly. My pard apparently stayed after the gig and drank too much so he got a ride home and left his truck. It was a beater... worth less than $1,000. I lived through the Agnes flood in PA in '72 also.. 😬
Great Story. Horrific day(s). Here’s my story: Our band was on tour & in Nashville that week; at recording studio, finishing up final vocals. In the evenings, we would play at Tootsies. Our band leader was friends with Scott Collier and he would give us a set; in primetime. Def a tour highlight. We departed the morning of the flood, headed to a show in Louisville. The rain was heavy. Soon, all of our phones were blowing up. Some thot we might be stranded at flooded RV Park @Opryland. Luckily we got before flooding started. Then we heard about Sound Check (UGH). It poured all eve in Louisville and we had a light turnout. Worst bit was me driving the bus back to the hotel, after the show.
Ohio. A 50 foot wall of water came down the wee gee creek. My great aunt and uncle Boston with Dickie Boston climbed up a step hill to the neighbors house.Over 30 people died, a bar was washed away into the Ohio river miles away. Vernon Boston lost his new Buick never to be found. My mother knew all but a couple of the people that died.
I grew up on the Ohio river in the upper Ohio Valley. Bellaire Ohio, just south of Wheeling WV on the Ohio side. McMechen and Glendale WV are right across the river. We get plenty of notice on the river floods but the creek flash floods can be very devastating One was so bad it even made the LA Times. www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-06-30-mn-2478-story.html
Here is Reggie, playing those riffs in 2008: th-cam.com/video/9EEkHO6jxjc/w-d-xo.html That story you tell is pretty scary, while the loss of instruments, amps and gear was just so heart-breaking as the may just be artefacts but musicians in the main really care for and about their instruments, and then there is the history behind them.
@@AskZac Look em up. Small operation outside of nashville. I have an amazing tele made by them. Boutique stuff made from repurposed barn wood from rural tennessee

@@AskZac Thanks. All-in-all we were fortunate.
A wife that wants to go to guitar festivals! I’ve always envied your lovely guitars but, Zac, now I’m really jealous.
Jack Pearson shredding on his $80 Squire. He's amazing. This story was a great journey!
This brought back so many memories! The Hammond, Oregon community really came together around this time. There were some amazing him and Leslie combinations in that same storage facility such a loss. This was a great history lesson video. Thank you, Zac!
Peaes Norms guitar of the day is a 57 Esquire👍 looks mighty familiar

It's so great how you offer a tantalizing bit of guitar riffing at the opening of your videos. Inspirational.
Love a good story Zac. Thanks man. :)
Thank you, Keith!!

Cheers so much for your content man. I love it.
"I see a Wall of Water...." and then an ad started playing. That was well timed, lol!
Just in time.....
Saw that too!! 🤣
Great 1st person journalism. Enjoyed!
Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake both live at Leipers Fork TN.

What a fun intro.Great playing Zac
Thank you 🤗
Awesome playing in the beginning
Thanks a lot!
Great flood story Zac. H20 tour, Wow.
I know, right?
Remember hearing about the storage (soundspace) flooding. Sad deal. Thanks for the insight into that.
What a gut wrenching story for guitar lovers, but you told it so well! Had me on the edge of my seat.
One of my favorite things about your show is to see which guitar will be hiding in the background! 😆
I always try and put something interesting in the back!
@@AskZac I was wondering if that was on purpose or just what you were Playing at the time.
That was a well told and super interesting story.
Thank you!
Dude, thank you!
Wow what a story! The best and the worst things in life all crammed into one day. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for listening
Love the Ask Zac channel. He is like the Mr Rogers of the guitar TH-cam channels.
Oh man ... I'm almost speechless after hearing your recount of events.. someone or something was looking out for yall.....I'm glad you made it

Great story Zac. A little bit of it comes over as the dance band on the Titanic but with a (relatively) happy ending :)
I thought you were gonna say you tried to convince your wife to stick around til the end of Carlton’s show...

Great Story. Horrific day(s).
Here’s my story: Our band was on tour & in Nashville that week; at recording studio, finishing up final vocals. In the evenings, we would play at Tootsies.

Wow!
Supposedly Waylon’s Tele (the one with the black pick guard) that belonged to Keith Urban by then was submerged and subsequently restored.
What ever happened to the gear that was insured? Did these ever get acquired by the insurance company and then resold on the market?
ALL DESTROYED!!
Leapers fork was Hillsboro before the yuppies showed up.
Wow, I say " Get in your Way back machine". From the flintstones I believe.
My family was in a flood like that in the late 80's/early 90's in Shadyside
Ohio. A 50 foot wall of water came down the wee gee creek. My great aunt and uncle Boston with Dickie Boston climbed up a step hill to the neighbors house.Over 30 people died, a bar was washed away into the Ohio river miles away. Vernon Boston lost his new Buick never to be found. My mother knew all but a couple of the people that died.
Praise God more were not list.
Flooding is so scary
The way back machine was from Mr. Peabody (and his boy, Sherman), as part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
yep . also tom bukovacs new house had some flooding
Zac, what name brand tubes do you have in the Vox? And are they NOS? So glad I've found your channel.
NOS Sylvania
@@AskZac Thank you, the Vox with that EF86 sounds wonderful
Is that the Glen Campbell guitar he used with “The worlds most famous unknown band” in the background. The Nashville Network logo??
It is
