Bee, thanks for being a positive, uplifting person! I like you!

I can see exactly why it would be your favourite place. I took a great liking to it the day I stepped foot in it. I just wish I could have stayed longer. But it was the last leg of the full Elvis tour (I paid for me and my Dad to go for a birthday gift. We started off in Memphis (pretty dead compared to Nashville), went through Mississippi, Tupelo, Alabama for some reason, Chatanooga and then finally Nashville. I was begging my Dad to take me to Clarkseville just so I could get my picture taken at the train station (Yep. Monkees fan) but there was nothing doing. Oh well. Still got to do everything I wanted to do and bought the most marvellous singing Teddy dressed like Elvis in his Jailhouse Rock getup. It sings Devil In Disguise. I luffs it

Yeah, my friend and I went to Memphis once. And once was enough. It was okay, but I feel that Nashville just blows it off the map. Memphis felt ghetto-y. 2PM in the afternoon, and you had to play hopscotch, just to jump over the bums passed out on the sidewalks. I did enjoy Graceland, though, and Sun Studios. I'll probably make it back there, someday.....

Haha. I know what you mean! I wasn't even allowed to go walking on my own because it was a rough time of the year (around Thanksgiving) and so all the down and outs came out to play.

I preferred Studio B to Sun Studios. I was yelled at in Sun Studios because my flash on my camera accidentally went off. Oopsie. But I actually got to stand where Elvis stood, play the piano people like Johnny Cash and Skeeter Davis played at Studio B. It was magical. We even got to record an Elvis Song ourselves as a souvenir *wonders where her Dad put the CD*.

Yeah, it was cool, standing where Elvis stood. Kinda SPOOKY! And we went next door, and ate the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, just like the King! Hooh!
