'Non-Elvis' Memphis, starting with Sun Studios - so cool where some of the greats were first discovered and recorded... Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Howlin' Wolf Burnett, the Big O, oh yeah and Elvis.... plus a lot of the tracks of U2's Rattle and Hum album were recorded here... yes one of my favourites, so maybe a little star struck on this visit.
Beale Street where we walked, lunched, listened to blues and drank on-tap frozen cocktails at Wet Willies - oh so fabulous.
These guys were brilliant, excellent blues and the guy on the right could make his guitar sound like anything from a piano to an old dying VW - which he sang a song about, that anyone who had a beaten up first car, much older than themselves, could relate to.



Great photos!
