Atlanta is a city of gleaming skyscrapers, the home of Coca Cola and a shopping Mecca to equal New York! Nashville is home not only to country music but also to a much broader spectrum of music for everyone. New Orleans is a strange mixture of Jazz, Creole and Cajun food. Memphis is a city of music with the famous Beale Street of entertainment with its bars where budding musicians play.
