Lost sheet music near Beale Street, Memphis
Description
I was playing along Beale Street in Memphis around 2:45 p.m. on Sunday when my sheet music disappeared from the stand. It’s the set I’ve been rehearsing for weeks—pencil notes, coffee stains, and a couple of personal annotations that mean a lot to me. I’d paused to answer a text near the FedExForum area and looked back to see the pages aren’t there. Losing them felt like losing a piece of my memory; the sheets aren’t pristine, but they’re mine and irreplaceable for tonight’s gig. I’ve retraced every step—from Beale Street to the Orpheum block—hopeful someone found them and turned them in at the Beale Street area lost-and-found.
