Walking in Memphis

Today Gary and I found ourselves walking in Memphis on Beale Street, with the Peabody ducks and even down in the jungle room. Yes, except for the ducks which are an 80 year tradition at the Peabody Hotel, it brings to life the famous song about the King and his town, Memphis TN. Graceland, the former home of Elvis Presley is all we had heard about, a tourist magnet with somewhat tacky decorating, but when you walk through the rooms filled with hit songs and a racquet ball court filled from floor to ceiling with gold and platinum records you realize why they called him the king. So many songs that we grew up with keep his memory alive.
