Cleveland, birthplace of Rock n Roll and Site of RRHOF

Apollo Theater, Harlem NYC...site of many R&B concerts
The Ed Sullivan Theater, NYC...The Beatles first US TV appearance...now home of Colbert Show

They've had a fire but we met the owner (who couldn't have been more accommodating) and he told us about the rebuild plans and gave us the $2 tour 😉

Us out behind the studio by the lake

The property in Flying Baron Estates is now a bus terminal of sorts I believe and I don't think there is any reference what so ever as to what transpired there anymore. They are trying to escape the notoriety and the traffic.  Kinda like where Princess Diana died in Paris. We went past it 4-5 times before a driver told us exactly which column they hit.. No marking at all there..

Depends upon who you ask 😉

Yes...for someone out of touch like me they seem esoteric.

Though, question: can you actually visit these places?

The Crossroads,  Clarksdale Mississippi.  (Just DO NOT agree to anything there with strangers)

Muscle Shoals, Alabama...famous studio site

Rose Hill Cemetery, Macon Georgia.  Burial site of the Allman Bros...and apparently...also a place they used to hang around and write some of their songs

The Fillmore, San Francisco.  Apparently still going.  Also site of homes of the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane

The Elvis birth home, Tupelo, Mississipi
