Beale Street memories:-
1. Duelling pianos at Silky O'Sullivans playing 'I'll Get By With A Little Help From My Friends' in the style of Joe Cocker and Kermit The Frog.
2. A young guy on lead guitar and vocals covering tracks from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Prince, amazing.
3. Seeing a huge plate of food come out of the kitchen and think which fat ba***rd ordered that only for it to be put down in front of me.
4. Complimenting some guy for having the best looking woman in the room and not getting my head kicked in.
5. Constantly being asked for my ID.
Hell of an experience but you have to be selective far too many poor covers of classic Rock and Roll and Blues artists and I don't want to ever hear Big Bad Leroy Brown again.
A great find was the Flying Saucer with over 80 beers on tap, no real ales but still an accomplishment and they have an outlet in Nashville, Yeehah!
Another unexpectedly good experience was the River Museum on Mud Island, $10 for two interesting hours and a free return Monorail trip thrown in.
I am now all Elvised out, saw where he was born, lived and his grave, must admit I felt very sad looking at his grave, what a waste to die so young.
Memphis said goodbye with a bang, last night's thunderstorm knocked out the TV and the WiFi.
