Memphis is a pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all recorded at the historic Sun Records, which is now a museum. Graceland, the second most-visited home in America, welcomes visitors from around the world who yearn for a peek into the life of "the King." Beyond the music, Tennessee's largest city also offers much more. It has more sunny days each year than Miami, and combines southern tradition and hospitality with modern amenities. You'll enjoy great dining (be sure to sample the barbecued ribs), art galleries and exciting nightlife.

The Cowboy Narator was very funny and very informative and made the tour a very enjoyable experience- he sang the streak and did Gomer and Goober and we laugh and learned and were very happy to have met him. The visit to the Ryman Auditorium was a chance to visit hallowed ground and take Cowboys advice how to see the Hall of fame- he knew how to get the most out of it. Thanks for the memories you made for my wife and I ????
