B B King's Blues Club & Restaurant

Spent a day on and around Beale Street in Memphis.
A couple of blocks one direction is the studio where Elvis first recorded.
A couple of blocks the other direction is the Rock N Soul Museum.
On Beale Street itself is a statue of Elvis, a couple of blocks from the restaurant called Elvis Presley's Memphis.
Also on Beale Street is a statue of W C Handy, in Handy Park, a couple of blocks from the W C Handy House.
We ate lunch (Memphis-style barbecue) at B B King's Blues Club & Restaurant.
And that night we heard him perform on the stage there.

In the souvenir shop, I got this pick and this pair of drumsticks.

That day was clearly in mind when I wrote the second verse of my blues song,
"Yesterday Was A Nightmare," although it was a wonderful day!

I believe every guitar hanging in the place is named Lucille.
Mr King himself told why. Here's how I remember the story:

Before he was rich and famous, he was playing at a club in northern Mississippi.
The place caught on fire, and everyone had to be evacuated.
He realized that he had left his guitar—his means of making a living—inside!
He ran back in to get it. . . .
Later he found out that the fire started because two guys fighting had knocked over a lantern.
They had been fighting over a woman named Lucille.
He named his guitar Lucille to remind himself never to do a stupid thing like that again.
