Jerry Lee's Ranch

Once last stop before we left the Delta—we had to make a pilgrimage to Jerry Lee Lewis’s Ranch in Nesbit, Mississippi. Until his divorce from wife #6, Jerry Lee would allow tours through the house and grounds (evidently complete with piano shaped pool. Ex-wife # 6 stopped the tours and painted over the graffiti on the fence surrounding the ranch.

We had a belated anniversary dinner at The Hollywood Café (Home of the Fried Dill Pickle). John Grisham was a regular and mentioned cafe several in “A Time to Kill".

And, the song "Walking in Memphis" mentions the café:
“Now Muriel plays piano

Every Friday at the Hollywood

And they brought me down to see her

And they asked me if I would --Do a little number

And I sang with all my mightAnd she said --"Tell me are you a Christian child?"

And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

We walked in to a virtually empty restaurant- but the owners were sitting at the bar, so we joined them and not only had a great dinner, but a real ear-full on the history of the restaurant and the Delta.
