Continuing with the trip and moving south our next stop was in Memphis where we had a visit to the old Sun Record Studios.
The million dollar quartet, impromptu jam session, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash................and me crooning!
The Peabody duck were also a must. If you don't know the story, the ducks spend the day in the hotel fountain in the foyer and at 6:00pm each night they are ushered in to the lift, red carpet style and taken up to the roof where they spend the night. Next morning they come back down to the fountain. There is even an official duck keeper.
PS. The drinks were good here...........
From Memphis we moved onto Natchez via a stop at the Jackson state government building
and then dinner in an old cotton home in Natchez. Wanting to try local dishes, I chose craw-fish for dinner.
Next stop, cotton picking.
