A conversation with Joe Bandy Jr. from Nashville, Tennessee. Recorded at Blakeford Senior Life in Nashville. To hear the shorter interview, see "Joe Bandy Jr., Local Businessman/Bingo MC (Short)."
Name: Joe Bandy Jr.
Age: 90
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Did you know?: Bandywood Drive in Nashville is named after his family.
"There was a fellow that worked in my dad's office named Woodcock, C.C. Woodcock. And one day he came in and said, 'Joe, I've got a problem. I'm trying to develop that property that I own and the city has already turned down three names for the street, and I've got to get a name for the street.' And my dad thought a minute - so he tells me - and said, 'name it after us: Bandywood.' And that's how it came about."
