Re: In The Land of the Delta Blues

Have any more Napi?

No cameras are allowed inside the Civil Rights Museum, which is just as well....The Museum is a lot more than a &quot;photo-taking&quot; experience......

Afterward, we made a quick stop back at Beale St....just to see what it looks like during the day

While we spent the day doing the tourist thing, MissM stayed at the homestead working on a batch of her famous ribs...nicely seasoned, perfectly cooked with a home-made BBQ sauce added at the end...they were melt-in-your-mouth with just enough texture for a nice chew

sorry, no pics of the ribs...I didn't want to end up with a finger lickin' good camera

Handsome boys.

Re: In The Land of the Delta Blues

We've already learned that blues, country and gospel came together to create rock 'n roll....well, those same influences also created rock's brother, the genre known as &quot;American Soul&quot;....the baby was born at Stax Recording Studios aka &quot;Soulsville, USA&quot;....so if you're a fan of Otis Redding, Booker T &amp; The MG's, Sam &amp; Dave, Johnnie Taylor, Isaac Hayes et. al., this place should not be missed....







No photos allowed here either....you'll just have to go see for yourself

Q, I'm so glad Ami and Abu were there....it's nice for me to have other kids to play with!

Re: In The Land of the Delta Blues

And now it's time for me to complete the Black Diamond/ Memphis connection.....

I bought 3 box sets of music in Memphis; a Sun Studio set, a Stax set and a Memphis Blues set....there's one artist featured on all three and his name is Rufus Thomas...in addition to being a musician, he was an influential DJ on Memphis' Black radio station, WDIA....he was also a mentor to most of the blues, rock and soul artists of the time....

Black Diamond recorded many tracks at Peaceful Waters Studio in Westchester County, NY....Peaceful Waters is owned by Vaneese Thomas....Vaneese is a daughter of Rufus.....
