This morning my dad had an appointment downtown, so my parents dropped me off at the music museum--actually, a Hall of Fame. My friend's office is across the street, so she came to meet me and we wandered through some of the exhibits together.
Look, a mandolin! (But not like mine.)
This display case is devoted to Little Richard.
In the Coca-Cola Drugstore there's a jukebox, you can play whatever you want for free.
What's her selection?
After rockin' out with Big Mike, we headed for the kids' discovery section with all the hands-on musical displays. When I moved my hands inside the harp, I made music.
This celebrated musician was a schoolmate of ours.
The real reason we went: a special exhibition on Otis Redding.
It was a fantastic collection of memorabilia, culled from the Redding family collections. And what was really cool--my friend's dad appears in a photograph with Otis and some record company people. We stayed a long time, watching the video screen and studying all the artifacts.
When my mother showed up, it was time to say goodbye. We always have so much fun together, I wish we didn't live so far apart!
