Can't visit Memphis without taking in the flair of Beale Street. Ate lunch at Silky O'Sullivans and listened to some saxaphone & trumpet soul music.
Before lunch we toured the Memphis Rock & Soul Museum. The exhibit is a self guided audio tour and takes you through the blues and country roots of rock & roll. It features vintage jukeboxes, costumes & profiles of the artist of the times. There are 140 exhibits. It is sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute and is presented very well. A great place to spend a few hours if you find yourself in Memphis.
We had taken a trip to Memphis several years ago just to see Graceland & play golf, but never did any other tours.
Hope all is well!

Hello you two! Glad to hear you're having a good time and the weather is nice. Remember, Sarah Gore lives 2 miles from Beale Street.

Hi Joan and Ron:
ReplyDeleteThis is my second try on the blog. Memphis is really a cool place. Beale Street the Peabody Hotel (food is great) or Mud Island. Hope you receive this or it will join the last one in space.

Soggy rainy day here in Indiana, so I hope you are having more fun where you are! And where are you? UPdate please! Or are you sticking in one place for a while and truly just relaxing in your new home?
