Graceland, Graceland, Memphis Tennessee


One should sing the title of this post rather than say it however, that being stated the day at Graceland was again an interesting one. Elvis' achievements in the music industry are truly incredible. The tour of Graceland is interesting in what you see of Elvis' life and what is glossed over. The insecurities and the achievements let alone the talent he had. The tour of the costume building was the cherry on the cake really.
Perhaps the real cherry was the tour of Sun Studios on our way home to the Peabody Hotel. It put Elvis' contribution into "historical" perspective- the contribution he made to the development of not only American music but world music and Rock 'n' Roll.
