Vip024 2007_11_16 Walking in Memphis

The title of this Podcast says it all really! “Walking in Memphis� is what I did with my Friend Paul Salter and Rand King (one of our friends from Decatur Alabama).

 

We were fortunate to have the pleasure of being in Memphis and touring GraceLands, the home of Elvis in July 1998. Any Elvis fans will know that 1998 was the 20^th year of the death of the King!

 

I have to say, that I am not a great fan of Elvis but, going to Gracelands and absorbing myself in the whole Memphis and Elvis thing was something I will never forget.  A truly amazing experience.

 

We start with a night time walk along Beale Street, where live music; good food and great beer were the order of the day…And Rand gives us a bit of a history lesson.

 

Then we go neatly into the following morning with our tour of Gracelands which starts with a look at some of the many cars owned by Elvis.

 

Next its Gracelands itself. 

 

…And finally, we end with a look round the Lisa Marie, which was one of Elvis’s private jets.

 

The snippets of the song: “Walking in Memphis� is the original version by Marc Cohn and it is taken from his first and self titled album.
