Whoops, BEALE ST MUSIC FEST, or as it used to be called Memphis in May: Somebody was asking about it a few pages back. I've been going for a few years now. In fact my first ABB show was there! "Shades of Two Worlds" era '93. Memphis is a dump, but it's got alot of heart and soul. Beale St has been somewhat cleaned up from what it used to be. You can see some good entertainment after the fest if you've a mind. It's a circus on that weekend, but always safe. It generally rains at some point of the weekend. I've been soaked down there every time. But it's always worth it. The line up is excellent this year, obviously with the ABB family, Taj Mahal, Old Crow, The Bar Kays (remember "Soul Finger"?), Elvin Bishop, Steely Dan, etc. They don't allow coolers or chairs. The Blues tent is always a great place to rest and get out of the sun/rain and hear some blues groups you never heard before. Saw Jonny Winter in there last year. Setting: Tom Lee Park. A long stretch of MS riverbank. Big stages at either end, with another big stage and the blues tent in the middle. To the east is the Bluff, to the west is the MS river, so good breeze & a fantastic view. Then there's beale st dead ending at the park. Summary: I love it! Thanks for the Wanee reviews. Went last year and had a blast. Y'all got me jonesin' too! Dave myspace.com/deviltrainmusic
