Have you ever been to Beale Street in Memphis?


Susan and Gene on Beale Street

If you've never been to Beale Street you MUST put it on your list.  It was so fun!  We enjoyed a lot of great blues music with Don's sister and her husband Gene.  

Fire AND music!


We enjoyed the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame and a visit to  the Civil Rights Museum.  The museum was closing, however, so we didn't get to visit inside.  The Loraine Motel, where MLK was shot was incredible to see - it was painstakingly authentically preserved!

Another stop on our list for the day was the Memphis Rock N' Soul Museum.  Lots of music history here and we spent a couple hours strolling around and enjoying the exhibits.


A few more pics from the day:






I never tire of walking down a street and hearing the sound of music!  This is big blues country and we will be back!
