    Blue Suede Shoes

    posted 05/30/2008

    SPFToday is the end of Music Month at SPF, and today's theme is my "Musical Tribute".  We saw this young man performing in Memphis while we vacationed back in 2006. 

    Blue Suede Shoes

    He played under a tent across from Graceland while we ate some Memphis BBQ.  I was impressed by his skill on the guitar, and his ability to hold the attention of the audience. 

    To me, this is what it's all about.  A musician with a guitar, all alone.

     And the shoes were a nice touch.

     Did you play?

    Yeah, it takes a whole lot of cajones to go up on stage alone like that. With those shoes on, nonetheless. You are basically saying, yeah, I deserve to be wearing these shoes, what of it?

    Have a good weekend!

    Memphis is a fun town. Was the performer doing a Buddy Holly tribute or was it purely Elvis a la the shoes?

    Cheers.

    Funny, but my first thought when I saw him was Elvis as well. Elvis Costello. Shortly followed by Buddy Holly.
