Sounds good to me but unfortunately I'll be 5,000 miles away eating shoe leather and watching one of five tv channels.

Have fun :D

I lived in Memphis many years ago and we ate at many great local BBQ joints and the music on Beale Street is the best. Have fun when you can take a break...

So looking forward to that BBQ!

Looks like we are both right. He was known as the Beale Street Blues Boy and it was shortened to B.B.

That was it...no blues bands, concerts, no tour of Elvis' home?

Naw...but plan to go back someday soon.

Right now I'm concentrating on a trip to Cincinnati in January.  Probably go back to Memphis in the spring or summer.
