The Carpe Diem Diaries

...Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting...

Memphis Blues

Today we had a long day of driving so we didn't get to stop in Memphis.  I love Memphis.  Charlie Poole LOVED Memphis -

Now the seven wonders of this world I've seen.
There's many other different places I have been.
Take my advice folks, please see Beale Street first,
It's in Memphis, Tennessee.

We just couldn't fit it into our overstuffed itinerary this time around but Memphis still gave us some love in the form of WEVL, a terrific blues station, as we were passing through.  Wow.  And we heard this song, and it was amazing. Oh please listen to it.
