    Hows about all those other sweet Blues inspired drummers? I can't be alone out here.

    Donny, I'm in the Clarksville, TN area right now, but I am definitely getting a kick out of exploring the Blues right now.

    I recently sat and watched a movie called "Crossroads" that was a documentary of Eric Clapton" Blues gathering in Chicago. It focused primarily on the guitarists - and there were certainly great blues guitarists present - but I also enjoyed the awesome drummers that were behind them all the way. It was awesomely inspiring.

    I love just sitting around and listing to the people who have played on Beale for most of their lives. It rekindles my spirit every time I do.

    Hey Donny,

    Welcome to DC! I am a native Memphian!! I was born and raised there. I sure do miss walking down Beal St., listening to the old blues trio playing on the sidewalk, with the guitar almost out of tune... you can't learn that stuff in any music school. I also miss Memphis BBQ!!!

    That's why I love it here so much. You can't be taught how to play stuff here, it has to always come from what's inside. It's got a whole different meaning than anything else, to me.

    I am in the Murfreesboro, TN area if that helps. I play the blues I know there must be more drummers in this area. Maybe someone else will come forward. Nice to meet you

    Welcome to Drum Chat drummin' girl! I was in Murfreesboro for 7 years, before moving to a church in Clarksville last year. Great town.

    Hi pastor bob,

    nice to meet you! thanks for the welcome. Murfreesboro sure has changed in the past last years hasn't it? the traffic is horrible now and I can't recognize half of the streets I use to know like the back of my hand!

    I have been to Clarsville a time or two. Nice town!

    I will see you around the forums! Have a great day!

    I know that's right!

    hello drummin girl. I have been going up and down the interstate the past few weeks going to and from Chattanooga to see my daughter and new grand-daughter and I've got to say...the interstate traffic is horrible most of the time it seems.

    My wife and I went to Murfreesboro about 6 years ago and rented a honda goldwing to test drive. Y'all have lots of nice scenery areas to ride thru.
    Take care and seeya!

    Hi Jim/jgraham798,

    Congrats on your new granddaughter! I bet she is very cute!
    I am sure you are not relishing the drive to Chattanooga (the traffic that is), I'll be there in a few weeks with my hubby at a conference, so I will get to see Chattanooga again. Love the town.

    Cool you got to ride around Murfreesboro on a bike, they have I think Bumpus and I can't remember if there is another bike shop in town. A couple of years a go we had a tornado go through the area where Bumpus was at. Not fun.

    Thanks for the scenery complements! You have to see the smoky mountains and Gatlinburg if you have the time. There are quite a few good spots for bike riding around here.

    Nice to meet you and I will see you around the forums too!

    Hello Donny!

    I'm a fellow Memphian...born and raised here. I don't get down to beale st. very much but just love it when i can get there. The music's as real as it gets!! I also love going to Clarkdale miss to Ground Zero and watching the blues talent there as well! if you haven't been there, it's worth the drive!
    Take care and seeya!
