Sun Studio!

Hello Students! So sorry for the delay in getting this post to you: these last few days have been hectic as we draw another semester to a close. I hope all is well with each of you, and your plans for your presentations are shaping up nicely. I just received the schedule of presentations that Mr. Branch sent out, and it looks to be a very exciting and interesting line up. We will meet, one last time, in the classroom in Macon Academic Building, to discuss any last minute items you might have. I will be there both days for your presentations, lending support, and feeling proud of all of you!

For now, let's reflect a moment on our most recent excursion to Sun Studios. I don't know about you all, but I had a wonderful time! I found our tour guide to be not only informative, but hilariously entertaining. I was reminded, too, of the rich musical history Memphis has to boast. I was immediately taken back in time to the days of sock hops and soda jerks and rockabilly music!

In your comments, please share your impressions from the tour. What did you learn that surprised you? What stood out to you most? If you have photos, share those as well.

 

South Main Arts District

Hello, All. I certainly hope this post finds you well, that Easter weekend was a good one for you, and that you did have some time to spend meandering South Main, and soaking up a bit of our local Memphis culture.

I realize we go our lines crossed in some cases, and some of us clustered into groups--which is fine--as long as you had an opportunity to see some of the galleries and attractions along Main, which has experienced an upward incline in development and revitalization since the late eighties. I'm eager to hear your experiences, so please, let us hear how the day went. If you have photos, please share!

Here are some of my own from that day...
