Elvis Lives!

We made it to Heartbreak Hotel with only one mishap, taking an early exit from the motorway and having to drive down a street that looked VERY dodgy, but then we found ourselves on Elvis Presley Boulevard and at our destination. Still struggling with what a quarter of a mile looks like!

Heartbreak hotel is awesome! Elvis is everywhere and our room has a lounge with a LARGE flat screen TV on which to play the 24/7 Elvis movies.


Even the wine has an Elvis label.

We have just finished the tour of Sun Studios where Elvis recorded his first 5 records. How incredible that it sat empty for 20 years before it was bought and restored as a recording studio, and that it is still used as a recording studio today. We learnt so much about the history of the studio and the many great blues singers who started their careers recording at the Sun.

I have now written twice about Beale Street and lost it all so will send this and try again later.
