From time to time, we like to acknowledge some of the interesting people met during our travels. Here are the folks from Memphis;
James is a greeter at the Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale St. He is pointing to a decades old Coca Cola sign on the side of a nearby building. The colors are still vibrant.
Steve was our waiter at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken restaurant.
We met the very talented Ples Hamilton at the Sun Records Studio museum. He is demonstrating Johnny Cash's raspy strumming technique.
Anthony is the current Duck Master at the Peabody Hotel...
...and of course we met the ducks as they exited the elevator and headed towards the lobby fountain.
