Met the King & His Tailor & Then the FBI!

32 °C

Went to Graceland yesterday - a great tour - anyone who likes rock & roll & all types of popular music should do this tour it is excellent. It was a moving experience standing at Elvis's graveside. I then went on to a local hotel to see the world famous ducks - I will save the surpise for the photos! Then I went to Elvis's tailor in the 50s & 60s - got my photo taken with him (now in his 80s) in the store behind a photo of him & Elvis in the 50s. Also bought a great shirt from there - 2 ply 100% cotton white with a blue pattern just on the front & pleated running down- that should be great for Vegas - and a better souvenir than just a postcard! I was out on Beale again last night & had a great time again - bought some CDs of some of the bands & a T-shirt & all of them were signed. Also met in BBKings 2 girls from Chicago from the Office of Alcohol, Firearms & Tobacco - I joked with them that they seemed to be having a good time on federal expenses ----- they joked as they carried guns in their day jobs, that they would walk out of the club first and then take me down on the sidewalk! But really had a good time at BBKings and the girls from Chicago recommended the fried green tomatoes in Clarksdale - where I am catching the greyhound to in 2 hours for some Delta blues. Along with my case & bag, I am taking the guitar that I bought on Beale Street with me for open mic spot tomorrow night where I am staying! Well hopefully, they will not ask me to check out earlier than I was going to - like a day earlier! Should be a great experience! More updates to follow!
