I finally figured out how to load these pictures (or maybe just my computer decided to co-operate today!) The first, of course, is of Jerry Lee Lewis. Old but can still rock!
The crowds and a few of the many portapotties. Note that everyone is well prepared for the elements.
We left the festival to explore Beale Street itself. It is steeped in music tradition, and as I said earlier, the music in the restaurants and bars was as good as that at the festival.
Here are the crazy but good ZZ Top. They are very strange!
And yes, the mud. I think this is Day 2. By the end of Day 3, the mud was oozing overtop of sneakers. So glad I had my yellow boots! Best $20 I ever spent.
This is
Davy Knowles from the Isle of Man. He was my favourite. Check him out!
We took a side trip to Graceland of course. What we noticed was that Elvis' middle name is now spelled with 2 As, unlike twenty years ago. There is controversy over which is correct.
Lead singer for The Wallflowers (and Bob Dylan's son). They will be in Winnipeg at the Concert Hall in July, with Counting Crows.
Best slogan of the trip. Found at the Civil Rights Museum, which is found at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was assassinated.
Next task is to get some videos on this blog. Stay tuned. You do want to see Jerry Lee play!
