“There is a special occasion in Memphis the month of May, and it is a celebration known as Memphis in May. The weather is great and the people have wonderful festivals. We had a music festival the first weekend, and this past weekend, the World Championship Barbecue Contest. There is no place in the world, even if my colleagues from North Carolina and Texas think so, that has real great American barbecue other than Memphis, Tennessee, and the champions were crowned there. Next weekend is the Sunset Symphony, which is the crowning jewel of the Memphis in May activities. The symphony will play on the river, and they will play the ``1812 Overture,'' play ``Old Man River,'' and have fireworks and a great aerial show. It is a great time to visit Memphis. It is a great time to experience Memphis. We honor a foreign country each year. This year it is the Republic of Panama. I congratulate Memphis in May on many years of bringing people together and extending the culture of the world to the city of Memphis and Memphis to the world as well. ____________________”
