Long Distance Information Give me Memphis, Tennessee


Beale Street on a quiet night.




The wall outside Graceland.




                                                             A peek into the grounds









Presley Park





                                                                        Elvis's plane(s)





We couldn't get inside Stax










Memphis Slim's house is right behind Stax.  Not quite as well preserved as Graceland-- but it looks like there are plans.




I loved some of the wall paintings nearby.



American manufacturing at its best.  Apple should take note.







                          Look close and you'll see the ES semi-hollow body they are making for me.
                                                                           (Ah well...)



                                                   Half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.






I'd never been to Arkansas or Tennessee.


Don't know if it'll work-- but if it does, you'll see a roll get thrown.  Doug's was thrown even farther.

Wonderful pictures again Peter, but you drove up to the wrong bridge :)

Hernando de Soto Bridge was opened in 1973. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernando_de_Soto_Bridge

Here is the right one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_%26_Arkansas_Bridge

I think that Marie's home is somewhere here http://maps.google.se/maps?hl=sv&ll=35.120347,-90.074962&spn=0.00896,0.016512&t=h&z=17

Memphis Slim's house looked the same in 2007.
Nothing has changed :-(
