Graceland
Friday, November 17, 2006
After a visit to the president`s house yesterday, went to the king`s today. A lovely house, much smaller than I thought it would be. Felt very homely and much of it is just as Elvis left it. Massive collection of his clothes, cars and memorabilia. They even have his personal jet, the Lisa Marie, in the car park. His grave is in the garden along with his parents. Afterwards visited Sun studios where Elvis paid $4 to record a single in 1953. Many others also launched their careers there including Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. Finished the day by watching the sun set over the Mississippi.
