&emphis) is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, surrounded by vast cotton fields and forests, and is called Memphis mainly because of its hydrological geography similar to the ancient city of Memphis on the banks of the Nile. The city is the largest in Tennessee and is only a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Little Rock.

After leaving Little Rock, Glory to Death headed east along Interstate 40 toward Memphis.

It is a city that blends the elegance, conservativeness, and pride of the South with the vast, playful, and welcoming of the West, and it is this land where the old and the modern 'meet' that has nurtured a breathtaking musical culture. DY) and the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley (Elvis. Presiey) are here to begin their world-famous musical journey.

William Christopher Handy composed the slow four-step jazz dance in Memphis, a country whose vastness, full of agility and blood and sweat, gave birth to blues in the fertile soil of light cotton 'flowers', the tears of bent black laborers, and the shouts. In Memphis, it wasn't just black musicians who stubbornly filled the streets and air with blues music, their leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. (Martin). lunher。 King) is also proudly taking back to the world the land, rights, dignity and a wonderful breakfast that should have been theirs. And Martin Luther King Jr. also proudly soaked the whole of Memphis with blood in the end, leaving only Bruce to continue playing, continuing the last hope of the black people.

Perhaps it was these paths paved with misery and melancholy that gave rise to rock music that would influence the next half century

Memphis has always been a city full of musical culture, and in the forties and fifties, Memphis brought together various musical genres such as gospel, blues, rhythm and blues, and western swing. THIIIPS) because he loved the blues so much that he gave up his job as a radio DJ to come to Memphis, and through his own efforts, he founded Sunrecced in 1952, the sun is a symbol of Sam's optimistic "spirit", and the motto of this record company is "We record any music anytime, anywhere".

As a music producer, Sam is very patient and serious with every newcomer who comes to Sun Records, and he gives artists maximum freedom, saying that at Sun Records, there are no stylistic restrictions, and those who do not have a formal music education can 'want' their own music as long as they feel good.

Because of this, Sun Records' music style was very different from the mainstream record labels of the time, and it appeared lively and vibrant, which also made Sun Records the most frequented place for young artists in Memphis at that time. Due to the existence of zài strict zhòng species in the society at that time. Tribe. Discrimination, many black recordings are not widely popular, and Sam believes that in order to be commercially successful, he must find a "white person with a black voice and feel."

In July 1954, a white truck driver walked into a recording studio in Memphis, and a legend began. The young man who called himself Elvis Presley played a piece that Sam didn't notice at first, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and vaguely realized that an era was about to begin. So Sam recommended Elvis's song "That, S.all.Rit" to Radio Memphis, and it was a revolution of music, culture, and racial integration. This is the beginning of life.

It was a new blues and country music, a new tune that was light, hot and even wild, but the main thing was that the song spread like a messenger around the world, heralding the birth of a new form of music in Memphis, rock 'n' roll

Elvis Presley began his legendary life, and Sam Phillips was also known as the "father of rock and roll", and Sam's contribution to American music and world music was far more than that, and the Sun Records he founded remained forever in people's hearts with the name of "Cradle of Rock and Roll", and in the sixteen years that Sam ran the company, a total of 226 albums were released, leaving an immeasurable "spirit" wealth for the world. In 1986, Sam Phelps was one of the first "non-artist winners" to receive one of the highest honors in the American pop music industry: induction into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In 2003, the day after Sam's death, the U.S. Senate passed an agreement to designate 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, where Sun Records Studios was located, as a U.S. Historic Monument and awarded it a "National Historic Landmark Building" in recognition of the studio's creation of zào pop culture.

This is Memphis, William Christopher Handy, Elvis Presley, Sun Records, a city that comes alive because of music.

In fact, blues and rock have been closely linked, they influence each other and interact with each other. Born in difficult times, Bruce brings emotional relief and relief to black people struggling to survive. Bruce, who sings about happiness and hope in pain and despair, splits his 'legs' and is torn and tortured but still swaying, being expelled from the world and still biting the sky and hugging the moon and kissing 'randomly', stubbornly calling friends with guitars, harmonicas, drums and bass, and touching his soul and the earth with his feet, slaps, 'chest' cavities, and harmonica, will only make life 'shame', but smile makes life proud forever. This is the power of music, which influences the present, reminds of the past, and faces the future calmly.

For everyone who is glorious to death, when you come to Memphis, you can feel the scorching heat of the blood boiling to the point of almost exploding, the city represents not only music, not just rock, but the love of music for ordinary people. Music comes from the public, from life, and every corner of Memphis can feel that special charm and style, even the smell of music notes wafts in the air.

Beaie Street. street), which is world-famous, and the first blues band performed in the bars and clubs of this street, which is perhaps more famous than the city of Memphis. Beale Street still retains its rich history, and is lined with music-themed bars on both sides of the street. The 'doors' between the bars, opening and closing, the various music 'intermingling', the blues melancholy, the rock madness...... It forms a unique atmosphere of the small street.

At one end of the street, there is a small square, named after William Christopher Handy, the father of the blues, and there are two 'dew' days at the same time, and small bands play every day. In the bright sunshine, passers-by in twos and threes, holding beer in their hands, or serving coffee, on the bench, drinking and listening, not far away, Handy in the statue, quietly paying attention to this qiē, he is holding a saxophone, as if he wants to add a song to the band in front of him. On the other side of the street, there is a video store much larger than the square, with all kinds of music, among which the tape commemorating Elvis Presley always occupies the most prominent position.

"So, do you want to be on this stage?" Neil looked at the two 'dew' stages in front of him, and his 'chest' cavity was surging with infinite 'passion', making him seem a little unable to suppress his feelings when he spoke, which was completely different from usual.

Although the two 'dew' days in front of me are not gorgeous, in fact, they are two simple wooden platforms in the square, without too much decoration and no gorgeous equipment, but the two stages have extraordinary significance for real rock lovers, to say that it is an exaggeration, this is one of the symbols of the birthplace of rock and roll; Truth be told, this is where countless classic tracks are born, which is a special place for any band.

Hugo didn't have such a strong feeling before, and he always felt that Memphis was a place 108,000 miles away from him, but today, Hugo has a real sense of pilgrimage, which is the holy place in his heart. Not because of the worship of Elvis Presley or any other particular singer, nor because of the birth of rock 'n' roll, but because of the love of music that brought the blues to life and gave birth to rock 'n' roll, a love that made Memphis unique and made these two modest stages a sacred place in the heart.

"Of course," Hugo and Foquin said in unison, neither of them loud, just giving a low affirmative answer, but this simple sentence contained all the surging and 'exciting' emotions in the hearts of the two people.

"You say, how will it feel if we stand up?" Pedro's expression was more direct, and he said directly and excitedly, and he wanted to stand up and try it out.

Alfonso also jumped on the spot with an 'excited' face, as if he was willing to go on stage immediately when he was given the opportunity to go on stage. It's hard to imagine that a few months ago, he was a 'colorful' car salesman, and he had been hesitant to join a band; But now, Alfonso is completely in the corner, enjoying every minute and every second of his time with the band.

After arriving in Memphis today, Glory to Death immediately came to Beale Street to find a performance venue, which is a holy place for rock lovers, and there are countless music lovers who come to Beale Street every day every year, and it is estimated that there are countless bands with the same idea as Glory to Death

However, are there any performance restrictions on these two stages? Do I need to apply, or can I perform on stage as long as the stage is vacant? Are there any management associations around here? Hugo and Bill were already skilfully scouring the area for the management of the city, and in their minds, there must be a system in place for the management of street performances in a famous music city like Memphis.

But before they could find the manager, the idle stage at the far end suddenly became lively, and they saw a band starting to take the stage one after another, which also made the passers-by in the square naturally cast their eyes over. Don't you need any permission to perform here, just go on stage?
