Peabody Ducks at the Peabody Hotel, Memphis, TN


Sun Studios - clowning around with the mic

Fun on Beale Street

I think this might be my favorite photo from Memphis:

Imitation Elsie on Beale street with the big chicken

Graceland . . . random shots



Everybody (almost everybody) enjoyed some special ELVIS ice cream. It was hot and they were hungry.


The marker and the famous wall.
At the gate.

Tracy, Liz, and John leave their mark on the graffiti wall at Graceland



Imitation Elsie visits Graceland again and leaves her mark on the graffiti wall outside


The first room seen on the tour is the white living room with the music room in the background. Oh yeah, and those peacock stained glass windows. The blue curtain shrouds the upstairs. No one goes upstairs (except Lisa Marie of course!). After you walk through the dining room and kitchen you go downstairs and see the TV room fashionably decorated in bright yellow, royal blue, and white with mirrors everywhere. Elvis wanted to watch more than one channel at a time so he had three TVs installed. This room also includes a bar area.
Across the hall from the TV room is the pool room. The walls and ceiling are covered in fabric. Its very dark.The jungle room awaits at the top of the stairs.
After you've seen the inside of Graceland you head to the office and then to the racquetball building. On the stairway leading to the court the intials EP greet you.
The court is transformed into an incredible display of records and quite a few of his costumes
