May 10, 2005 - GrooveQuest Memphis Moment

(Shufflemonster): “Groovestress, What’dya make of this major network Elvis TV Movie airing just four days following our return from Memphis, Sun Studio, Rock ‘n Soul Museum, Graceland, Beale Street Festival, and all ?”

(Groovestress): “I take it as another anomalous and wondrous GrooveQuest Synchronicity.”

(Shufflemonster): “That TV Special is making me feel like I’m still in Memphis. They just showed [an actor depicting] a teenaged George Klein. That’s the same guy that we just saw introducing and extolling Jerry Lee Lewis’s extraordinary performance at the Festival. They really go all out for live music down there.”

(Groovestress): “Yeah, I just had a flashback of you and I sitting in with that Beale Street Blues Band. We seemed to enliven the ever-growing crowd in W.C. Handy Park ---and then that club owner actually approached us to sit in at his Bar!!!.”

(Shufflemonster): “Did you feel the ‘ENERGY’, Groovestress?”

(Groovestress): “I felt --- the ‘ENERGY’ -- the glow, the zone, the channel, the exuberant loop of karmic abundance, the Groovaliscious Groovyness. We had a truly inspired GrooveQuest/Memphis –Magic—Mojo-- Moment, For Sure!” [and then, in a somewhat calmer/reflective tone]---“Do you think that some of that Memphis Mojo will be with us on our local gigs?”

(Shufflemonster): “Shufflemonster believes that each GrooveQuest performance reflects all of the band members experiences, passions, talents, and Mojo because --- GrooveQuest IS--- From the Heart---From the Soul-- Essential Spirit of Rock and Roll --Through the Groove--To You!”
