For
many years, I've been wanting to visit Memphis for the Blues Music Awards. I finally made it down for that this year on
May 11. It was an amazing experience.
On May 10th, the evening before the BMA's, I attended a music showcase presented by BratgirlMedia at Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale Street. The event featured a prestigious lineup of blues musicians. It served as a fund-raiser to benefit John Nemeth who underwent surgery last year to have a tumor removed from his lower jaw. It was an extraordinary event to say the least. If heaven has a juke-joint, I imagine it would be a lot like this.
Without camera in tow, I still captured a few photos of this fabulous event on my iPhone.
