Ran across this statue along this rock pillar. I found it to be quite creepy.

We stopped at a small park in Cincinnati a while back and I decided to play with my Lensbaby Fisheye some more.
Sometimes, you just need a drink..............
Pee Wee's Saloon was the favorite meeting spot for Memphis musicians in the early 20th Century W. C. Handy used the cigar counter to write out copies of the Beale Street blues for his band members. One of those songs, written for the 1909 political campaign was first named "Mr. Crump," for the Memphis mayor and political boss. Later with the new lyrics it became famous as "The Memphis Blues"
I loved the southern look of this building as well as the contrast of it all.
If you have seen the movie, you already know what this is all about.
There is always fun to be had at the famous Beale Street. Even just watching the people can be fun.
This guy just seems out of place. He seems to be enjoying himself, even if he has no expression. What he does have are beads!
This is the beer you can get down here on Beale. It's $5 and you can just order it from a window on the street at pretty much every bar.
This guy had some serious emotion when playing his sax at the W.C. Handy club. I had a great time photographing him, he kept posing for me.
The "Handy" is such a small place. On Saturday nights it's slammed packed. Very cool spot on Beale.
