Five days!
My sister in law is coming in from NYC tonight and tomorrow we're all going to Memphis for the awesome Stax Records reunion concert:
"In an unparalleled celebration of Stax Records’ 50th anniversary, the heart and soul of the legendary label’s lineup will reunite onstage for “50 Years of Stax: A Concert To Benefit the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.” The event will be held Friday, June 22 at Memphis’ Orpheum Theater at the foot of Beale Street.
Early artist confirmations include Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MGs (featuring Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn), Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Mavis Staples, the Soul Children, the Reddings (honoring the legacy of their father Otis Redding) and special guest star Angie Stone. Additional Stax stars and special guests will be announced shortly."
Woohoo! Can't wait. So I'll have something fun to do as I while away the time...
What are folks packing for Dallas? How hot is it down there? (Egg frying on pavement hot? Or merely the kind of "hell" hot we've got around here?
)
