commented over 1 year agoYou have captured the essence of Beale Street. This should be a spotlight winner, in the spotlight on Beale Street. Do you know the name of the trumpet player? Do you know name of the musician behind him? I think he plays, or used to, at the Rum Boogie Cafe. Possibly some of our Capture-Memphis viewers can comment here and identify them. Excellent capture!
