Beale Street 11-3




Rick and his friend, Tae took us to Beale Street in downtown Memphis last night to eat BBQ and hear Blind Mississippi Morris and his band, the Pocket Rockets, who are known as the "real deal from Beale". Morris has a talented lineage. He lost his sight at age 4 but that didn't stop his love of the blues. "Morris is the very embodiment of the Delta bluesman. He has been called a new disciple of the Delta blues, he was rated one of the 10 best harmonica players in the world by Bluzharp magazine."  We ate messy ribs and all the fixin's.
