The Deep South
My love for Elvis Presley and Country music combined made this my dream holiday.
My first stop was Nashville, a beautiful clean City, with great restaurants and amazing atmosphere. Country and rock music in every bar. I also had the pleasure of watching a show at the grand Ole Opry, and visiting RCA Studio B, they have recordings of Elvis rehearsals, including his old piano and guitars.
Driving down to Memphis was easy and felt very safe, this old bustling city was such a different contrast to Nashville, we took the old tram to BB-kings, a great night with blues music and good deep southern food.
We visited Sun studios, there is where Elvis was discovered and cut his first record, on the outskirts in the Ghetto.
We then drove down to New Orleans, passing old plantation houses and the Mississippi.
New Orleans was a wonder. Trams, steamboats and wonderful old buildings in the French quarter. Jazz music can be found in venues but properly need to be checked first and the bars are quite small If you are interested in these places and share my love of Elvis, country music or just amazing places , pop in to Hops or give me a call . I’m excited to talk about my experience.
