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.
