As an interior designer, I have always loved Native American hand drums for their natural beauty when used for western decor, and for the significant role they play in American Indian drum music. Most people I come in contact with are not aware that these hand drums are some of the most famous cultural icons in the world. For hundreds of years, American Indian people relied on their belief in the unique power of these drums for spiritual and healing purposes, and have always regarded the hand drum as a prized possession among all Native American musical instruments.

The blues is the name that was given to this music from Memphis musicians, and it still today gives a unique musical face to the city. Some of the great Memphis musicians include Big Mama Thornton, Rosco Gordon, Sleepy John Estes, B.B. King, and later, of course, Mr. Elvis Presley. The talents of these Memphis musicians greatly shaped the city of music, and the sound that people heard in the streets and on the radio would never be the same once the Memphis musicians made their footprints.

There are few families as talented as the Judds. There are also few families that have had to fight as hard to reach success. They have had reasons to celebrate and reasons to cry over the years, but this June marks one of the former events. The mother-daughter duo is celebrating 25 years performing together and they will have a storefront in Tennessee made into a temporary museum in mid June in order to commemorate the event. Both members of the duo will be on Main Street in Franklin, Tennessee to sign autographs on June 13. The museum and commemorations will be appearing at the same time as Nashville's Country Music Association Music Festival. The two still perform from time to time together, and fans can make sure they have a spot reserved with the Judds tickets online.
