Tennessee Rocks!

Here are some pictures from Memphis and Nashville. While we were in Memphis we enjoyed some southern cooking, listened to a live blues band, and visited Elvis. In Nashville we spent the evening at the Grand Ole Opry House, visited the Country Music Hall of Fame, and took part in the one of the nation's largets fourth of July celebrations.


Memphis. Home of the Blues. Birthplace of Rock and Roll.


Beale Street


Graceland. Home of the King.


A few of Elvis' records.


The American Eagle Cape. Elvis tossed this cape into the audience at the end of the 1973 "Aloha from Hawaii" concert.


The Grand Ole Opry House where we saw and listened to the music of Porter Wagoner, Mandy Barnett, Connie Smith, Jason Michael Carroll, Jack Greene, Restless Heart, Mel McDaniel, and Neal McCoy.


One of the nation's largest Fourth of July Celebrations. You can see the main stage where Taylor Swift, Rodney Atkins and Van Zant performed, as well as the masses of people in front of the downtown Nashville skyline.
