As a continuation of my post about Memphis, here's another shot of Beale Street - home of the Blues.
There was a Hard Rock Cafe there - and as much as I was kind of sad to see such a 'commercial' place in an area of such local culture.......it was designed really well! Guitars all around......I love the door handles.
And of course, the awesome sign....
Even the fence around the entrance has guitars on it!
Beale Street was a hotbed of culture, history, music and eclectic stuff.
This was the place that Jenks and I went to watch a blues band for the evening.....
If I liked beer, this would've been an awesome sign.....
Jenks IS a beer fan, so he partook of the Beale Big Ass Beer!
There were guitars hanging from the ceiling all over the bar and they had tags on them with names - I guess those stars donated the guitar to the bar?
And on the pole in the spiral staircase up to the second level were these $1 bills signed. Weird!
This was the view out the window of the blues bar - that's Beale Street.
Here is the blues band that we watched. Lots of harmonica action going on!
And after that bar, we went down to another one and watched another band play.
