A few days ago, I just happened to see an on-line article about a person that now lives in Jim and Mary's former home in Madison. Whether this person was the original owner or just one of several, is not mentioned.

His name is George Bradfute who is listed in the article as a musician and recording artist. The name is a complete blank for me. The article goes on to say that when he first viewed the home, he was unaware of its history. Only after seeing some paper work did he realize the home's original owner. He bought the house because of it's incredible large basement with attached recording studio, including a bomb shelter. Well, the shelter story is new to me. Never heard that one. This apparently fit well with the new owner,
since he was in the repair business, repurposing guitars and violins, and I think amplifiers were mentioned.

At the end of the article George says that the home was completely renovated when he purchased it save for an original piece of tile, featuring a music note from Reeves' downstairs.

The same article also features homes owned in Madison by other music stars, such as Loretta Lynn, and Patsy Cline.

If you Google the George Bradfute name, some interesting sites come up including a YouTube video. Seems legit but not completely sure. Can anyone add to this to confirm this is an actual true story. But I thought it to be an interesting read in any case. Thank you for indulging me....
