Memphis-Home of the King(s).....




Memphis Tennessee is home to the king. Well, two kings actually. Elvis Presley and BB King. The King of Rock-n-Roll and the King of the Blues. Graceland was Elvis’ home and is now a major tourist attraction. The 14 acre estate is filled with memorabilia from the long career of Elvis. The hard-core fan will want to get married in the Chapel in the Woods.

One thing the Ape loves is the blues. BB King and the Ape have been friend for decades, well not really friends since we have never actually met, but you could say the Ape knows him, at least his music. A great place to hear his music is on Beale Street at the
BB King Blues Club. The king himself still plays many shows here a year.

After a long night jumping around Beale Street the ape was read to recharge with a great meal. There is great food in Memphis. From barbeque to fried chicken, Memphis has some tasty eats.

Just remember the saying in Memphis “If you order fried chicken, we’ll make you fried chicken. If you want chicken cordon bleu, we’ll make you fried chicken.”

Enjoy Memphis, make sure to bring your appetite and visit the kings!!!!!
Next time, the big apple……..
