One note, while we did not get to try Corky’s BBQ yet we did have really good meals in town and perhaps will find Corky’s tomorrow, there is one in Little Rock that we will try to find on our way across Arkansas. It came highly recommended by more than one person so we feel compelled to seek it out.

... these great artists, some of their instruments and clothing, including Elvis's high school graduation certificate and social security card!

During the Sun studio tour we were allowed into the recording studio which had the actual microphone that was used for recording back in the early days of the studio. It had the lips and spit of all these great artists all over. You ...

... to travel around in style, albeit pink style. His tailor made plane was nice given it was quite old and I am sure would have been start of the art back in his day. There was also an Elvis museum which explored his rise to fame through Hollywood movies and his eventual concentration on music alone.
