The Mississippi River was foggy and strange and the rain off and on, but the Beale Street Music Festival got underway around 4 p.m. today, with undaunted fans slogging in through the gates. Bad weather had prompted Music Fest officials to delay the opening of the festival by a couple of hours and cut most of the first round of acts. Richard Johnston is the one perennial attraction at the festival.
