Back from Memphis!
Permalink  

Hi all! I've recovered from another trip to Memphis and wanted to drop by to say hello! I love the city more and more with each day I spend there. smile I can't wait to run our event there next May and share it with our posse! The BBQ and soul food are awesome, the music is fun and rich in history - I can't even begin to tell you the stories I've heard about the city! Anyway, I thought I'd share a couple photos from my adventures, just for fun. Have a great day all!

The Rum Boogie, with guitars from so many musicians hanging from the ceilings and on the walls...

This pic is a museum room in A. Schwab, the oldest store on Beale Street and operating since 1876. They're famous for selling oddities, like gigantic bib-alls and a variety of suspenders...

Hey Woo, did you see the 2nd guitar from the right in the top picture? (I didn't know any of them even played guitar.)

I didn't notice until you pointed it out! I noticed the one that LS will like though. But NKOTB played instruments in concert for a bit. Some members still play today.
