Been to Cahokia - I'm afraid ancient isn't the word compared to Stonehenge and Avebury - but thanks for the info. Hummingbirds abound on cousins property - lovely things. Will check out the national park if I can though. Going to Memphis for Beale Street rather than Graceland although I would be daft to miss the opportunity! Thanks Crazy Little Woman.

Didn't go to McSpaddens when I was in Mountain View but will if I get the chance - looks wonderful.

The place I did see dulcimers and lots of other instruments, including some wonderful pentatonic xylophones, was Eureka Spings, Arkansas. Fabulous place. Full of bikers!

Found out something intersting at the end of the Budweiser tour. You are only allowed 2 cans or bottles but if you wear a hat, then take it off, or reverse your jacket or disguise yourself some other way the barman is happy to serve you more:-) It's all to do with being recorded on CCTV.

Eeeeeh - This is great. I am remembering more and more of my last couple of visits! Joes stone crab and the Webber Grill in Chicago are fabulous as well.

Cheers

Dave
