Walking in Memphis

We were Walking in Memphis and saw a lot of interesting things. This is the hometown of Sun and Stax records. Where Elvis, Isaac Hayes, BB king and many many others recorded their first records. This is also is the place where Dr. Martin Luther King was killed back in 1968. The motel where that happened is now the excellent and moving National Civil Rights Museum. You can actually see the spot where he was killed and across the street the window where James Earl Ray shot him.
We also did a tour in the Gibson guitar factory where they make the (semi) hollow models. It was great to see how many care and passion it takes to make one guitar. You want to buy one if you see it, only to be placed back on earth when a boy of 8 years old shows how it is really done with easy and a smile...
