Back home and tired (but well fed)
Beale Street is very short (only a few blocks), very commercial --but-- they do it right and the sense of history is palpable.
That section of town seems to be a magnet for the eccentric and I mean this in the best possible way. I am more into landscape and nature photography but if I was into portraiture, I could have a field-day here. Tod Browning but on a very human and natural scale.
The food is a bit expensive (and I do not even want to think about what people are paying for rent here) but it is delicious. Had some B-B-Que and then someone told me where Memphis' best Q was to be found... Dinner tomorrow. The Blues was awesome -- found myself playing air-guitar walking down the street and this was just Thursday. I wonder what the Saturday bands sound like.
