Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make all the trips planned on last Tuesday due to my job, however I was able to make it to the Sun Studio and Saigon Le Restuarant. I am so amazed of the knowledged that I gained from this experience. To be honest there's a lot of places that I do want to visit in Memphis but the Sun Studio would not have been one of them. Everyone that works at the Sun Studio actually plays some sort instrument, I learn that while talking to the tour guide before everyone arrived. There were 3 Rules for the tour:
NO Drinks
NO Children under 5
NO flash Photography or filming upstairs
BUT Laughter, Dancing, and A Rocking Good Time Are Allowed. (Erin and Lyndsey must have read the rules lol)
When we arrived to the actual studio everyone loosen up a little by singing along, dancing or by holding the mic that Elvis song from.
The restuarant was different and it was pretty good, and again I would have never went there on my own. One of the many things that I will get from this class is to get out and see what our city has to offer from museums, blues,rock n roll, the Mississippi River, Beale Street and many more.
I did visit the Stax Museum the next day with my kids and they absolutely loved it, I think they were more excited than I was. My kids love music and trying to get them out of there was like trying to take a bone from a dog. When we got to the Soul Train floor, they had me rolling they were doing the robot and all sort of dances it was hilarious.
