Thinkin' bout Memphis

The Memphis Beat

Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy
Forty-four school where the kids don't study
Well they all hang around at the root of Beale Street
Oh gonna dance all night to that Memphis Beat

I'm going to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis, I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Whoo They're hitch-hikin' here from California
Ridin' on a Honda from Arizona
Houston, Boston, Kansas City
We got New Orleans and a doo wa diddy

Yeah, I'm going to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis, I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Oh I'm goin' to Memphis, yeah!

Well they got people a-walkin'
And ridin' and swimmin'
Just tryin' to get a chance at them good lookin' women
Now we just march on down to the foot of Beale Street
Ah Then dance all night to that Memphis Beat

I'm going to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis, I can't get enough
It makes you tremble, it makes you weak
It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Let's go to Memphis
Where the beat is tough
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
I said I just can't get enough

My Thoughts Exactly

Received my online subscription to PassageMaker Magazine today. In it, there's an article about George Town, Exumas, Bahama's winter community that I found to be so true. Thought I'd pass it on.

For those of you who haven't been to George Town, you'll find this interesting, for those who have; you'll either find a great deal of humor in, or strongly disagree with, this writer's's take on the community that floats in every year. I tend to be of the same mind as the author, but we've only been there once and, frankly found the environment, both on and off the hook, a bit hostile.
Of course, we anchored there in our fancy-smancy powerboat; though, far away from all the winter residents... even gave out free ice as a peace offering... we were still met with a certain amount of animosity, then adding injury to insult, someone "Teeved" all the gas from our freshly topped off with Bahamian fuel dingy in the middle of the night
So, we're not big fans of George Town, but we know many who are.

Oh well... C'est la vie.

Enjoy the article.

I hope PassageMaker magazine doesn't mind my passing it along.

Cheers,
