The home of rock and roll is back in the east 396.

&) Located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, surrounded by vast cotton fields and forests, it is called Memphis because its hydrogeography resembles the ancient city of Memphis on the Nile River.

William, the father of the blues ˉChristopher Handy (w.c.handy) and the king of rock "Elvis" Elvis Presley (.) are here to start their world-famous musical journey.

William Christopher Handy composed a slow four-step jazz dance in Memphis. This country is rich in its vastness, agility, and blood and sweat. It is moisturized by the light cotton flowers, the tears of the black laborers who bend down, and the shouts. Bruce was born in the fertile soil.

So Sam recommended the song "It's okay (that sung by Elvis to Memphis Radio, and it was a revolution in music, culture, and racial integration. The curtain on fate was thus opened.

This is Memphis, William Christopher Handy, Elvis Presley, Sun Records, a city that is alive because of music.

In fact, blues and rock have been closely linked, they influence and interact with each other. Bruce was born in a hard time. It brings emotional release and relief to the struggling blacks. Bruce, who sang happiness and hope in pain and despair, was tortured by splitting his legs, but still swaying, expelled from the world, still biting the sky and holding the moon, stubbornly and stubbornly. Using guitar, harmonica, drums and bass to call friends, using feet, slaps, "chest" cavity, harmonica to touch the soul and tears of the earth will only make life "humiliated", but a smile makes life always proud. This is the power of music, it affects the present, reminds the past, and calmly faces the future.

For everyone who is glorious to death, when you come to Memphis, you can feel the blood that is boiling to the point of explosion. This city represents not only music, not only rock, but also ordinary people. That kind of love for music. Music comes from the public and life, and every corner of Memphis can feel that special charm and style, even the air is filled with the smell of music.

Beale Street (. street) is world-famous. Back then, the first blues band performed in the bars and clubs on this street. Perhaps this street is more famous than Memphis. Beale Street still maintains the Tangle Road, revealing a long history, and both sides of the street are full of music-themed bars. The ‘door’ of the bar opens and closes suddenly, all kinds of music ‘makes’ mistakes, the blues’ melancholy, the rock’s madness... constitute the unique style of the small street.

At the end of the street, there is a small square named after William Christopher Handy, the father of the blues. There are two ‘dew’ stages at the same time, and small bands play every day. In the bright sunshine, passers-by in twos and threes, holding beer or coffee, drinking and listening on the bench, not far away, Handy in the statue, quietly watching all this, he is holding a saxophone, It seems that I want to add a song to the band in front of me. On the opposite side of the street, there is a DVD store much larger than the square, which houses various music products, among which the tape commemorating Elvis Presley always occupies the most conspicuous position.

"So, do you want to stand on this stage?" Neil looked at the two'dew' heavenly stages in front of him, and there was endless'excitement' in his chest, which made him seem a little irrepressible when he spoke. My emotions are completely different from usual.

Although the two'shower' stage in front of you are not gorgeous, they are actually two simple wooden tables on the square, without too much decoration or gorgeous equipment, but the two stages are for real rock lovers. All of them have extraordinary meanings. To put it a bit exaggerated, this is one of the symbols of the birthplace of rock and roll; to be true, this is the place where countless classic tracks were born. This is a special existence for any band.

Before Hugo had such strong feelings, he always felt that Memphis was thousands of miles away from him, but today, Hugo has a real sense of pilgrimage, this is the holy place deep in his heart. It’s not because of adoring Elvis Presley or any other specific singer, or because rock was born here, but because of the people’s love for music, which promoted blues and gave birth to rock and roll. This A love makes Memphis unique, and also makes these two simple stages a holy place in the heart.

"Of course" Hugo and Fujin said in unison. The two voices were not loud, and they only gave a low affirmative answer, but this simple sentence contained all the surging and'excitement in the hearts of the two. 'Affection.

"You said, what would it feel like when we stood up?" Pedro's expression was more direct, and he directly said excitedly, eager to stand up and have a try.

Alfonso also jumped on the spot with a look of excitement, as if given him a chance to come on stage at this time, he would be willing to step onto the stage immediately to show off his skills. It’s hard to imagine that a few months ago, he was an outstanding car salesman, and he has been hesitant to join the band; but now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Alfonso has completely entered. I took the role of "color" and enjoyed every minute and every second when I was with the band.

Glory to Death After arriving in Memphis today, I came to Beale Street to find a performance venue as soon as possible. For rock lovers, it is a holy place. Every year, there are countless music lovers who come to Beale Street every day. There are countless bands with the same idea till death

But, are there any performance restrictions on these two stages? Do I need to apply, or is it possible to perform directly on stage as long as the stage is vacant? Is there a management association near here? Hugo and Bill have already been proficiently searching for managers around them. When they want to come, in a famous music city like Memphis, there must be a system for the management of street performances.

But before they could find the manager, the idle stage at the far end suddenly became lively, and a band began to take the stage one after another, which made the pedestrians in the square naturally cast their sights on. Doesn’t need any permission to perform here, just go on stage directly?
