soon as i saw your name on the message list i couldnt wait to see what you,d posted
The combination of the image and the story are just fantastic , when you look at the picture you demand to know more , then you read the text and its causes you to re-look at the images , really clever stuff ,and both should be used by your tourist information dept, excellent

    aww shucks thank you thank you, tourist info? heck would be a good idea but artist on Beale street are dime a dozen. Im just trying to get in thru the back door..hehehe.but there is always hope or just me being hardheaded.(thats what mama called me..wink) I am so glad to you liked it. hey if ya ever get to the states come to memphis. to hell with New York and L.A.! at least here we will feed ya and have a good time..wink. you know whats funny there is a bed and breakfast place here in southaven,ms that has a bed and breakfast that is run by a couple of Brits and they advertise in your country's magazine, i guess. I run into them around either Elvis birthday or death week.(2 events of the year). maybe you can look it up on line. i just cant remember what the place is called. i just know where the place is at. oh well. I do appreciate your time in hunting me down(hehe) and taking the time in your busy schedule in giving me this fantastic reveiw!

Appreciate this art as much as the story that goes with it. Love its simplicity (the uncluttered look) the red and green contrast and music as its theme.

Like this for the story and for what the street represents.
like the composition, the brick wall the two musicians, the street sign, and the rest.
Good expressions on their faces, nice that one is playing a guitar
good color
nice design

Another of your wonderful works of art. Your attention to detail is amazing. I really like the holey jeans she has on and those red boots. Those red boots must be far walking. I like the way you gave them necklaces. Interesting that you have two races in this. An excellent and wonderful work of art. Guess you had fun putting the dots on his shirt and building that brick wall.

    well irene if you ever get a chance to get on this side of the mississippi come to memphis. while your on beale street you can check out the famous BBq ribs, or the southern style catfish. and while you walking up and down beale street, with your drink in your hands you can watch some our famous street kids doing acrobats on the street while severel different bands are playing. I alkways recommend visiting either BB Kings or alfreds for best bars with great food! thank you so much for taking time from your busy schedule in giving me this good reveiw! yall come back now..ya here...wink
