1946? Wow! the year of my birth.

Indeed: I doubt you'd enjoy the Beale Street scene.
Gawkers, hawkers and clowns
(until the real music begins in 1 or 2 clubs;
and even they seemed a bit road weary;
allegedly working for whatever shows up in the bucket
being passed around between sets).

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment Jim.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
