Walking down Beale Street .. If you love the blues and you haven't as yet 'Walked down Beale Street' your blues DNA is incomplete. It starts after lunch and ends when you want it to end ....
Live music spills from each club. Smoky barbecue wafts on the breeze. History hangs in the air. You're on Beale Street. From the moment your foot touches the cobblestones, you realise you've officially entered a music mecca unlike any other.
It is the most visited attraction in the State of Tennessee. Beale Street is alive with blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll, R&B, soul, and gospel. It has a variety of clubs, restaurants, and shops. Its live music, outdoor concerts, clubs, restaurants, and neon give you an authentic look at Memphis and its music. No other local landmark has held such mystique, intrigue, fame, and infamy over the years.
As you wait for the sun to go down, be sure to visit Handy Park and have your photograph taken with the 'Father of the Blues' W C handy, but not as I did, climb onto the statue.
