Great sleep after a couple of beers with Vincent. He had to drive all the way to San Antonio in Texas so we got a quick breakfast and he had to leave. Can’t say thank you enough to him and Trail Toes for everything you have and continue to do for me. Thankyou so much. Hope you got home ok.
Then I went down to Sun Studio, The place where it all begun. I had no real idea about lots of history to some of our most famous music and over this last week I have learnt so much and really enjoyed finding out who did what where. SO much was done here when none else would. The tour I went on was awesome.
I took so many photos today inside but here are a few.
Those were upstairs and then we headed down to the studio where even Elvis among so many of the greats played their first songs.
This Mic was the one that Elvis, Jerry Lewis and others used while playing here, I got to touch it and feel their power hehe.
Then I headed to Gracel and, Yep Elvis’s house. I met Chasity straight away and she was got me cut in front of a huge line to get this photo. Love your work baby awesome to meet you, Thanks so much.
My taxi driver John gave me a little tour on the way there and stopped in front of Elvis’s house where everyone signs the wall that surrounds the house. Had to drop a quick note down 4 the kids.
The house was awesome and I loved the old styles that he loved. Ill let the photos do the talking.
Elvis is also buried there along side his mum.
His cars and planes were pretty cool too.
it was great to just wonder around and be a tourist and then I just chilled out and checked the map for the next 2 weeks running. 7 days to Nashville I reckon and Im heading up the 64 which turns into the 100. Looking forward to getting there too.
Big shout out to Pat who smashed out a huge day today and did 50 miles, To awesome bro, run free bro!I’ll be cruising a little bit back here.
