Beale Street Blues

Leann and I had a great day in downtown Memphis. We started at the National Civil Rights Museum housed in the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated in 1968. We also popped in the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame (https://blues.org/). Then we walked down to Beale Street, grabbed a couple of pins at the Hard Rock Cafe, and had lunch at B.B. King's Blues Club, where we listened to a wonderful blues group, The Jason Foree Band (http://jasonforee.com/). We quick timed it back to the car and narrowly escaped the hail storm.

After a couple of hours resting at the hotel, we Ubered back to Beale and had BBQ at The Pig on Beale (http://pigonbeale.com/). I ate here the last and first time I was on Beale Street, and it didn't disappoint either time 😋. We finished the evening at The Peabody hotel chatting with a pianist playing in the Corner Bar, Curtis "Big Papa" Jones, who helped record Bishop Bullwinkle's internet sensation song "Hell to the Naw Naw" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_to_the_Naw…). A quick Uber back to the hotel wrapped up another long but wonderful day.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
