Sounds fabulous. So many good songs about Memphis - Tom T Hall’s ‘That’s How I Got To Memphis’ is my favourite.

Memphis was my first solo road trip when I was 21. Without a map or GPS I somehow navigated myself there from Columbia, MO. It was a wonderland of musical ghosts. It’s changed since the. (1994) but the beautiful ghosts remain.

Going around that curve and getting the first glimpse of the bridge is still one of my favorite road trip moments, even now that I know to expect it. I’m based in Belleville, IL, and finally took highway 61 the last time I went to Memphis. Highly recommended!

In 1989, over Thanksgiving, we did a Memphis pilgrimage to Sun Studios, Graceland & The Lorraine Motel. We stayed with good friends, who told us about The Peabody Ducks. We took our 18 month old son to watch them march off the elevator and of course took Photographs! with a Disc camera of all things.

As a University of Memphis graduate - I am so happy you found it and love it. It’s a city with an old soul for sure. Glad you appreciate it - not everyone gets it!
