Memphis, Tennessee - Mud Island, Beale Street, Madison Hotel, Trolley Cars
We visited Memphis and saw the sights. The observation deck of the Madison Hotel was closed but a very nice staff member who greeted us offered to guide us to the top and see it anyway. On the way up we learned he had lived in Lompoc back in the 1960's. What a small world. Thanks for the tour Jim Williams.

Memphis - Interesting Facts
Memphis was founded in 1819 as a planned city by a group of wealthy Americans including John Overton and future president Andrew Jackson.[6] The plantation economy of the Antebellum South established Memphis as a major domestic trading post for African-American slave labor and agricultural commodities, especially cotton.[7] Memphis seceded with Tennessee in 1861 during the American Civil War but was recaptured by Union forces in 1862 and occupied for the duration of the war

mabrosELVISworld presents - Beale Street
The Chrysler 300C Convoy approached Downtown memphis - and from there we went to Beale Street, which was named after a war hero in 1841.
In Beale Street in 1909, W. C. Handy wrote the first ever published Blues-song Memphis Blues. Beale Street Blues (published in 1916), another song of Handy, was responsible for the change of the name of the former Beale Avenue.
Through the 20ies to the 40ies, famous artists like Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Memphis Minnie, B. B. King and many more were performing in the Beale Street and helped to advance the Memphis Blues.
During the great depression, the Beale Street began to bedraggle.
In 1966, the Beale Street was declared as historic landmark of the United States.
The first attempt of resurrection happened in the late 70ies. The first club of the new center of amusement opened in 1983.
Todays attractions are for instance the Hard Rock Cafe, the Silky O' Sullivan's, the B. B. King's Club and an old mall, A. Schwab's. The organisation of A. Schwab was formed in 1876.
To remind the people of what W. C. Handy has done for the Memphis Blues, Handy Park was built.

When Morphine and Cocaine Were Routinely Sold in Pharmacies in the U.S. (1999)
The structural formula of morphine was determined by 1925 by Robert Robinson. About the book:
At least three methods of total synthesis of morphine from starting materials such as coal tar and petroleum distillates have been patented, the first of which was announced in 1952, by Dr. Marshall D. Gates, Jr. at the University of Rochester.[106] Still, the vast majority of morphine is derived from the opium poppy by either the traditional method of gathering latex from the scored, unripe pods of the poppy, or processes using poppy straw, the dried pods and stems of the plant, the most widespread of which was invented in Hungary in 1925 and announced in 1930 by the chemist János Kabay.
In 2003, there was discovery of endogenous morphine occurring naturally in the human body. Thirty years of speculation were made on this subject because there was a receptor that, it appeared, reacted only to morphine: the μ3-opioid receptor in human tissue.[107] Human cells that form in reaction to cancerous neuroblastoma cells have been found to contain trace amounts of endogenous morphine.
In 1885 the U.S. manufacturer Parke-Davis sold cocaine in various forms, including cigarettes, powder, and even a cocaine mixture that could be injected directly into the user's veins with the included needle. The company promised that its cocaine products would supply the place of food, make the coward brave, the silent eloquent and render the sufferer insensitive to pain.
By the late Victorian era, cocaine use had appeared as a vice in literature. For example, it was injected by Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional Sherlock Holmes, generally to offset the boredom he felt when he was not working on a case.
In early 20th-century Memphis, Tennessee, cocaine was sold in neighborhood drugstores on Beale Street, costing five or ten cents for a small boxful. Stevedores along the Mississippi River used the drug as a stimulant, and white employers encouraged its use by black laborers.[104]
In 1909, Ernest Shackleton took Forced March-brand cocaine tablets to Antarctica, as did Captain Scott a year later on his ill-fated journey to the South Pole.[105]
During the mid-1940s, amidst WWII, cocaine was considered for inclusion as an ingredient of a future generation of 'pep pills' for the German military code named D-IX.
Calls for prohibition began long before the Harrison Act was passed by Congress in 1914 – a law requiring cocaine and narcotics to be dispensed only with a doctor's order.[107] Before this, various factors and groups acted on primarily a state level influencing a move towards prohibition and away from a laissez-faire attitude.[108] Cocaine consumption had grown in 1903 to about five times that of 1890, predominately by non-medical users outside the middle-aged, white, professional class. Cocaine became associated with laborers, youths, blacks and the urban underworld.[109]
Popularization of cocaine is first evident with laborers who used it as a stimulant to increase productivity,[109] often supplied by employers.[110] African American workers were believed by employers to be better at physical work and it was thought that it provided added strength to their constitution which, according to the Medical News, made blacks “impervious to the extremes of heat and cold.”[109] Instead, cocaine use quickly acquired a reputation as dangerous and in 1897, the first state bill of control for cocaine sales came from a mining county in Colorado.[111] Laborers from other races used cocaine, such as in northern cities, where cocaine was often cheaper than alcohol. In the Northeast in particular, cocaine became popular amongst workers in factories, textile mills and on rail roads. In some instances, cocaine use supplemented or replaced caffeine as the drug-of-choice to keep workers awake and working overtime.

Avett Brothers: It's not all brotherly love
(24 Sep 2017) AVETT BROTHERS: IT'S NOT ALL BROTHERLY LOVE
North Carolina folk rockers Avett Brothers are the subject of a new documentary directed by comedy director Judd Apatow.
The family band let a camera crew follow them through the making of their last album, True Sadness. The film came out in limited release in September, with more theater showings planned for October, and it will air on HBO in 2018.
Having the camera crew come into our writing process and into our homes, it has been a brand new experience that has surprisingly been all positive, said Seth Avett during an interview at the Pilgrimage Festival on Saturday (23 SEPT. 2017) in Franklin, Tennessee.
Brothers Seth and Scott Avett front the band, but they said that it's not all brotherly love.
No, we had friction last night, said Scott Avett. We did. We had full-on friction that was a painful part of loving each other. And if... I could have had maybe three or four beers and it would have been all-out disruptive, derailing moment - 100 per cent. Instead, it was a moment that I just stomped off to bed and removed myself. So we do have that, but we don't let it own us and let it destroy us.
Cincinatti-based band Walk the Moon debuted the new single from their upcoming album at the festival, which they filmed during the recent solar eclipse that passed across the United States.
So we realized, oh my god, that's the day of the eclipse, said singer Nicholas Petricca. So we got up super-early to get there in the morning to be there at, like, the height of coverage. So when I am out there, you know, doing my dance moves on the mountain, that is the eclipse right behind me.
Blues rocker Gary Clark Jr. is hoping to win some points with his son with his new song Come Together, a Beatles cover that was recorded for the new DC Comics film Justice League.
My boy, you know, he is about to be 3 and he loves Batman, so I am trying to win points. There's a photo of me and the Justice League, the promo for 'Come Together.' So I am showing him, 'You see Daddy with Batman? That's me, you know what I'm saying? So listen to what I say because if not, Batman is going to come get you.'
