Morgan Freeman said it. I didn’t.

Memphis is more than our city. It’s Culture City. The Capital of the Mississippi Delta. It’s The Beautiful Land. The Bluff City. The 901.

As we celebrate 901 Day, let’s look forward to what Memphis can become, but also take some time to ask our elders about the fascinating and complicated past that made this city what it is.

Morgan Freeman and producer Eric Meier joined me to talk about bringing “Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience” home to Memphis. Hear the full interview this Friday at noon on WYXR 91.7 FM.

The performance comes to the University of Memphis’ Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center on Sept. 26.
