West and I have gotten settled into the new place downtown and absolutely love it!!! About once a week, we walk to dinner and enjoy our little neighborhood. The last Friday night of each month is the Last Friday Trolley Art Tour. All of the galleries are open, several have music and there is wine and snacks at most. We have done this once and it was really fun! Met several new people and saw some amazing art.
Last night we met West's buddies from college, Chip Grimm & Stephen DiMeglio, and participated in a Live Video taping at a place called Ditty TV. It was streaming live online and the band was John Paul Keith and the 145's. It was SO much fun! Their music is amazing...very high energy. It's a little bit country, a little bit rock n' roll. Little Americana....little Rock-a-Billy. 
After the music, we went across to Ernestine & Hazel's where we met some more friends of Chip's, The Pittman's. Super nice people! The guys all shot a couple of games of pool and we all talked and laughed. After the Pittman's left, we mossied across the street and down the block to Double J's. There was an AWESOME band playing there, The Tommy Akers Band. We ran into some other people we've met there and continued to keep the little party going!It's not a party every night but we are taking advantage of this downtown living. This past week we trollied and walked to do some Christmas shopping. We stopped into a local place called The Blind Bear Speakeasy...which offered some wonderful selections indeed. We split a few appetizers for dinner....creamy mac & cheese with lobster, warm pretzel bread with beer cheese and philly steak egg rolls. Yum yum indeed. But the beauty of it is we walked the mile home so I didn't feel too guilty with the nibblies!
So if all this talk of music and food has you ready for some adventure, come on to Memphis and see us! So remember to be nice to people, and tell the people you love just how much you love them!
Until next time,I remain Loving it in Memphis,
Yours Truly.
