Dj Bagre
A nice market
Anyone visiting Memphis has to go to Handy Park. As you walk past the New Daisy Theatre on Beale Street, you'll see the Pepsi Pavilion Center, which marks the start of the park. It's used as a venue for both large and small gigs, which are always free. However, its most common use is as a market, with booths selling crafts and women's accessories like bracelets, earrings and necklaces ... all those things that you pick up on a whim and never wear because they don't go with anything in your wardrobe!
There are also always bands playing for tips in Handy Park, covering old rock standards.
Sometimes they'll ask you if you play an instrument, and offer to let you play with the band. If you say yes, they'll give you a list of songs to choose from and only then, when you're riding high on the thought of playing in Memphis with a real live rock 'n' roll band, will they tell you the cost ... $20. It seems that fame and glory don't come for free.
