Hello from Nashville

We FINALLY have good internet.

Memphis was GREAT. We went to Sun Studios where Elvis recorded his first record and where the likes of BB King and Roy Oberson recorded.

Graceland was wonderful. It is very well done. The house is left the same way Elvis had it. We learnt a great deal about Elvis the man as apposed to Elvis the performer. He did a great deal of humanitarian work. He was a major contributor to the Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. Originally he was buried in the cemetary in Memphis but two years after his death his father had both Elvis and his mother moved to Graceland for security reasons. People kept trying to dig him up. If all the wreaths and stuff were removed from the grave site it would be a lovely spot. We were very glad we went.

We have a busy few days ahead of us. Tomorrow we are doing the Nashville City and Stars' tour. Friday night we are going to the Grand Old Opry. Thursday we will tour around on our own.

We heard about the earthquakes in Virginia and Colorado and just now from Michael the tornado in Goderich. We also heard about Jack Layton.

LOL til next time
