I was just walking down the street and heard all this commotion behind the door, so I opened it, and it was you guys! Seriously, I am a 61 year old traveling blues musician, ( I had a former life as a culinary school trained chef, but thats over now. Still cook for the family, though!), living 15 minutes from downtown Memphis, the world famous Beale St.on the Arkansas side of the river.I play blues on Beale St. and all over America, about 250 times a year. Bass is my instrument. I enjoy short track racing, vintage drags, and salt flat cars, hot rods,street rods, and muscle cars. I love building scale models of vintage race cars, tow trucks, haulers, etc. I'm just an old guy that likes old stuff. I found your forum by a link from my model car forum and am still enjoying the vintage pictures! Doubt if I'll post too much, as I don't know much, or have a cool car, and at this point in my life, probably won't. But I like to look, read, and learn. Hope you let me hang around.


Here is my fotki site, if you want to see my model builds:

Thank you,
Slim

Welcome Slim! Glad you're here! My wife lived in West Memphis from 2nd thru 6th grade, then moved to the other side of the state. Now we live in the middle! Lots of HAMBers in AR and TN, so hopefully you'll get to meet some good folks.

Beal is one of my favorite places...eat some BBQ at the Rendezvous and then walk over to listen to some tunes; what more could you want?

Hey! 61 is not old.........I'm 61. Welcome to the HAMB. I'm originally from N.e. Arkansas, 45 miles up I-55. Still have project cars stored there at my parents house.
Love Memphis, especially staying at the Peabody.
