Thursday night – Memphis…

Memphis.. not the city but the musical I was lucky enough to be able to see the 2010 Tony award winning Musical Memphis with a group of friends tonight in NYC. I didn’ teven know that’s where I was goign to be tonight.. I was in the city for abotu 4 hours.. I didn’t even get to see Max.

The city was really cool tonight. they’ve had so much snow. that all the streets were full of slush.. Not sure why that appeals to me so much.. but it does. The snow covers up soem of the grit I suppose.

The musical was really great, . It tells a story of a young white radio DJ in Memphis in the 50’s who started playing black music on the radio.. I read that it was loosley based on the story of a man named Dewey Phillips.

THe music and danceing was really really good.. as was the story line.. I liked it because it wasn’t simple.. it was sort of a love story.. but it didn’t all work out in the end.. kinda complex.. like the world is.

What a treat !

gotta sleep now..

nite everyone.. nite sam
