Back to the roots
What a day - we visited both Sun Studios and the Memphis Museum of Rock and Soul. As you enter the recording studio at Sun you feel as though you have stepped back in time - it actually has the original acoustic tiles on the walls & ceiling as well as some of the original instruments and recording devices. Standing in the room where Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkin
s, Roy Orbison, B. B. King (just to mention a few) all recorded caused us to have goose bumps - this is where Rock and Roll was born - this is the only studio that is a designated national historic landmark - this studio is nothing less than awe inspiring. Similarly, the Rock and Soul Museum brilliantly tells the stories of musical pioneers and legends of all racial and socio-economic backgrounds who, for the love of music, overcame many obstacles to create musical sounds that changed the world. Both seeing the many original artifacts and listening to the original music and stories was very emotional and soul stirring - a magnificent day.
