KWEM Radio 93.3

Music tours are a pretty big thing now. People come from all over the world to visit Graceland, Sun Records, Beale Street. A little known stop is the KWEM Radio museum at Arkansas State University Mid-South. KWEM 93.3 was a small local radio station in West Memphis, Ar. where a lot of the local talent plied their music talent till they hit the big time in Memphis. The little museum showcases the original radio staion and the early music pioneers.

If your interested in stopping it's located at Arkansas State University Mid-South 2000 W. Broadway West Memphis, Ar. . About 10 minutes of I-40. You can due the tour in 30 minutes to an hour. Visit would probably be a better word than tour. Stop, due the visit, get a bite to eat and get your scooter back on the road.

It Happened Here

One more thing, while your in the West Memphis and Marion area dial your radio over 93.3 FM and listen to some real American music and history.

I go back every once in a while and read my text. I see a lot of the grammar errors. I'm really sorry about it. It's due, do, to the fact I don't due, do much proofreading like I was taught to do, due in 11th grade English class.

Just out in the American hinterlands hauling some freight to and fro with no rhyme or reason. Kinda neat seeing the country. Seeing hundreds/thousands of H/D's and every once in awhile something else. Had nice visits at the dealers in Indy and Grand Rapids. Just something to do to kill some idle time between freight runs. See Ya'll out on the hiways and byways.

Nice

I'm so sorry. I use the nondescript adjective 'nice' to much. My 10th grade English teacher really marked us down when we used it. Well, I can't really come up with a better word than nice. The visit was nice, the staff was nice and the dealership was nice. Everyone was nice to me. OK, the bikes were awesome. The visit was, Nice. Maybe that was the 11th grade.
