Dave's USA Trip 2013 Continued ......

Hi all, I thought I would post up some of the pics from my recent US trip. There are a few BBQ pics but mostly not.
Never thought I would see one of these, someone robbing this bank only needs to drive it away...
Bourbon St, New Orleans at night - quite possible the most fun place I have ever visited.
Bourbon Street
I couldn't resist taking a snap of this sign
Live Jazz place in New Orleans
Live Jazz every day
Over many many years as people walked around this corner, their bodies have worn away the edge of the red bricks
A Margarita / Daiquiri Drive through
From mild alcohol to "Blow your head off" alcohol. Even the driver can order one & drive away drinking a "Blow your head off" Daiquiri .... this would NEVER EVER happen in Australia
Corona bottles - BIG sized
"Good Morning"
V.O.W. Blues Festival in Louisiana , so much fun ( & awesome Barbecue )
Apple Pie & Peach Moonshine
Blues. Blues & more Blues - just fantastic. Musician "Tab Benoit" started this Blues Festival 10 years ago, we had a really good chat, lovely bloke.
Tab Benoit - great stuff
Huge Bank Vault
Graceland in Memphis
Elvis
KCBS International Outreach Team in a Skype Conversation with Australia - History in the making.
If Scandinavia can do it, Australia can do it
Nashville - another place I fell in love with and the boots ...... oh the boots
Lucchese Boots are one of the Genuine brands left & still made in the US. Prices ranged from about $450 US to $8,000.00 US depending on the leather & detail, Snake, Crocodile, Hippo & American Aligator
I loved these White American Aligator but at over $3,800 US, I left them for another day.
These were cool too
and of course, both of us ended up with a pair of Lucchese Boots ( mine are on the left )
I couldn't help but throw these in
No police escort, just driving down the highway
Sun Studio in Memphis, this is where Elvis recorded his very first record as well as most of the US greats like Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison & Johnny Cash
It was amazing to stand in the same small studio & gave me goose bumps
Me chatting with Jeff Arnett the 7th Head Distiller at Jack Daniels
I picked up a bottle of this Limited Edition Jack Daniels Duty Free on the way into the US to drink with the guys
I loved it, tasted great, ( v expensive though ) & only available at Duty Free Shops in Australia at this stage.
Anyway, feel free to comment.
Cheers, Dave
