Shon Roka in Memphis, TN
Its not my first time living in the TN. At the age of 30 I feel more on edge about my choices and decisions. I feel like I'm on some mid-life crisis shit! Then I sit back and think while listening to the music I love. I also think about the things that got me to where I am today. Having two kids and not being in the same area as them hurts. Especially because I rarely get to see them as it is. Chicago I am coming back. Only a matter of time.
On that note I learned a few things here. Sam Phillips for instance.
