Sun Studios & Beale Street, Memphis

     What a fun day!   Ironically, Vicky & I have chosen "Million Dollar Quartet" as one of the Broadway shows to see in NYC in November when we go.   And today we visited Sun Studios and had the most awesome tour and snapped photos of the photo of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley in Sun Studios ......which is the story of "Million Dollar Quartet".     So many artists got their start at Sun and our tour guide (who looked like Maggie Wilkins) was the cutest thing and made it all so interesting.    A simple little building but a whole lot of history.

Rock 'n' Roll began here !!!

Lots of big stars got their start at Sun Studios

The only recording studio ever given the distinction

of being designated a national historic landmark.

In the recording studio

I'm using the actual mike that Elvis used.  Really !!!
