I lived in Memphis for less than a year in 1990. I loved it there and if I hadn’t gotten a job offer out of the blue that I just couldn’t turn down, I’d probably still be there today.

One of the things that struck me about Memphis was the enormous depth of musical talent…the crappiest hellhole bar would have musical talent that you couldn’t hope to hear in a lot of towns. I was reminded of that when The Show came to town, and Roy Head‘s kid sang his ass off, and so did a couple of other people, and I predict you’ll be hearing about a few of them very soon.
