Walkin' in Memphis

Fifty-one years after I was there, mY youngest is spending her spring break in Memphis. She sent me this photo yesterday of the entrance to Beale Street, home of the blues.

I have so many bittersweet memories of Memphis, having been there during the the last demonstration Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ever led, before he returned there a week later and was assassinated.

But it's always been a great town, filled with fine people, great music, and of course, the blues.

I hope she is enjoying her visit.
