Memphis

This is the third attempt to blog about going to downtown Memphis where we had lunch in Beale Street. The locals think that it is better than Bourbon Street, and if you prefer blues to jazz maybe it is!


We listened to a blues band, no cover charge, but the tip bucket appeared right in front of us after a couple of songs. We had a very appropriately named "Big ass beer" while we enjoyed the music, followed by a BBQ bologna sandwich. The rest of the afternoon was taken up with taking the rental car back to the airport and getting back to the hotel, followed by drinks and more Elvis movies. Tonight a pink cadillac is taking us out to dine and tomorrow is Gracelands! Hooray!


This is Beale street.

Btw, thanks to Chris and Ed for comments, we did respond on that blog. Comments and/or emails very welcome.

  1. Think I would have to take Memphis over New Orleans then, definitely more Bluesy than Jazzy. Just love some of the names of the food and drinks you're taking in, I assume you will look like "real" Americans when you get home?

    I bet Gracelands was a pretty emotional moment for Graham, I know he has wanted to go there for years. Hope it lived up to expectation.
