Somehow we forgot to bring the awning in during the night and a gust of wind mangled one brace. With the help of A.I. I tied it down ,and we began calling RV technicians.
Tom Sawyers RV offers little in the way of services. However, Carol got us a spot DIRECTLY ON the Mississippi. I want to feel romantic about being near the mighty Mississippi. The barges with shipping containers remind me this river IS and always will be about commerce.
Entering Beale St. you are hit with music. Great 60’s soul and R&B. The key word is ‘hit.’ It is VERY LOUD MUSIC everywhere !
BEALE STREET IN MEMPHIS
Below: Silky O’Sullivans
Yes, there was a goat inside Silky O’Sullivans. And the BBQ shrimp and BBQ pork egg rolls were delicious.
We took a tour that included Sun Studio where Elvis and Johnny Cash got their start. A lot of talk about Elvis on the tour. Of course there was a live(loud) musician on the tour. He was pretty accomplished, but IT IS Memphis.
Below: The Overton Park Shell, built in 1936, was where Elvis gave his first performance at 19 years old.The year was 1954. The girls in the audience screamed at him. He found their screaming frightening and wondered what he did wrong. He sang That’s All Right” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” As an encore they repeated these two songs because they only knew two songs.
