Tater Red

8/31/2014

 
“I’ve been on Beale Street since 1984 in one way or another. I like the feel, the history, the people. Every day is a new adventure. You never know who is going to walk through that door.”

“I left Memphis 25 years ago, and this is the first time I’ve been back. Me and Memphis wasn’t seeing eye to eye back then. That was before I got saved. Went to Florida after Memphis. I’ve managed gospel bands and had my own home improvement business, but I’m a Baptist minister now. That’s my passion.”

“I attended Morris Brown College in Atlanta, but I went to high school here in Memphis, at Manassas. Played in a jazz ensemble. That’s where I started off. They say if you can’t play the blues, you’ll never be able to play jazz.”

“I’m from the country, see?  I need to be back there. Baling hay, being outdoors, enjoying the wildlife.  I like that.  I’ve been here since 1963, but I’m from the country.  That’s my home.”
