Title: Anyone from / been to Tennessee?
Post by: OpTiCaL on July 19, 2006, 12:56:40 PM
Sup all,
as ive noticed similar Q's on here thought i;d ask my own...
...going to Memphis Tn for a few days next June ... staying right on Beale St

Im  hyped up cos i love soul and the blues and there are already a few ideas i have on some thing to do

(just love that soul food), know of a couple bars want to visit, blues / soul museum, want to see a paddle boat on mississippi (cheesy i know), etc etc

but looking for more ideas if anyone has any, ie clubs, live music bars etc

dayum couple of hiphop artists from round the way id love to see but not sure what live acts will be playing then as music festival is in May


so if you can please drop a line

BTW Memphis ideas are ideal as not going to be there long but open to other suggestions for Tennessee,  ie nashville, whatever...
...wish i could stay longer as so many places id love to go like georgia, mississippi, louisiana, alabama
(list goes on lmao) but think the travelling time on this one wont be worth it

Much appreciated Op-Ti

yes paul simon. lol.. i mean its probably how those people who keep saying "graceland" got the reference.. as soon as i read "Memphis Tennessee" in your post the song lyrics popped in my head..

I haven't been back there since I was a little kid. All of my family wants to come to Cali and visit so I never get a chance to go over there.

hoping to see someone like al kapone, 3-6, ugk  etc
