The inspiration of Marc Cohn's bullet. Dumb luck? Divine intervention? Fate? How do you deal with something like that? Marc Cohn decided to keep making music. He had work to do.
I really enjoyed this Judd, having made a similar pilgrimage to Memphis a decade ago. A friend of mine once called it the halfway house of Chicago and St. Louis because it was such a mixing bowl of styles, and in many ways I agree. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks, Glenn. I like that analogy. As I understand the deep history of Memphis it may have been the wellspring for what Chicago and St. Louis became as music centers. There are great music books out there that tell the history of Memphis. This is GREAT read https://www.amazon.com/Came-Memphis-25th-Anniversary/dp/1733350152
Footnote: in 2017 I organized a trip to Memphis with four of my closest and oldest friends. We went for three days and hit all the spots.
