I'm sipping coffee with my travel companion Leslie on a warm, drizzling Memphis morning. We linked up in Chicago yesterday morning and will be riding together through Austin. We braved the drably American cornfields of central Illinois with old stories, Mediterranean pizzas and several hours of mobile saxophone rehearsal. Leslie's going on tour with her band immediately after this jaunt, and needed to bone up on some new tunes.
This morning, we drank coffee and watched doves shrug in the rain from the balcony of my old friend Sarah's apartment, drowsily marveling at how unfamiliar the vegetation can be after a day's drive.
Right now though, we need to cruise Beale Street, swing by Graceland and get on down the road to New Orleans!
