This morning we visited the famous Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, a treasure trove of historic country video clips, recorded music, fabulous costumes, instruments and other memorabilia which tell the story of country music.
Now I can say I played in Nashville! I played "On the Sunny Side of the Street" at the visitor's centre dountown Nashville. Mind you, I think there were only two other people present in the room other than Michelle (and they were employees of the centre). It still counts!
At about 12:30pm, we headed to Memphis, the city of soul, rhythm and blues.
We stopped in Jackson, TN, at the Casey Jones village at around 2:30pm and then continued to Memphis.
In Memphis, we had a city tour and learned about Memphis' role in the birth of the Blues and Rock 'n' Roll. We saw Beale Street, BB King's Blues Club, the Mississippi River and the infamous Lorraine Hotel, and then to our hotel in Memphis, The Marriott. At 6:30pm we back to Beale St. for dinner at the Blues City Café. We both had catfish and it was very good.
