Sun Studio and ELVIS!

Sun Studio is a recording studio opened by rock pioneer Sam Phillips at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, on January 3, 1950.   This was a great place to visit.  I loved seeing old pictures and records of the rock and rollers who recorded here!  It was a fun tour.

On to the Home of Elvis!


 
Well, how could anything in life be better than a Elvis-styled FRIED peanut butter and banana sandwich??  Aw, man, that thing was good!

Elvis' House (I didn't take the tour, just looked at it from the outside).



 
I loved the rock wall around Graceland.  Visitors from all over come and sign and write personal things on the wall.  It's very touching.
