Memphis
I regret we couldn't get to Memphis. During this road trip, I'm reading Highway 61: A Father-and-Son Journey through the Middle of America, a travel/memoir by University of Florida rock and roll scholar Bill McKeen. (Bill is an acquaintance from high school, he graduated with me back in Bloomington IN). The book is about a road trip he took with his son down Highway 61 from Minnesota to New Orleans.
I'm really enjoying the book, its full of Indiana and Florida references (Disney World, strohs beer and Carl Hiassen), our childhoods were similar, moving about quite a bit, and we are of course of the exact same generation.
He spends a good part of the book describing their stay in Memphis, and its rich musical heritage. It would have been wonderfully complimentary to our Nashville stay.
oh well, maybe some other time.
