Homage to Elvis Presley, February 2008


























In February 2008 I went with my new Lufthansa department (NYCEA/D) in East Meadow (back in the States, as I had transferred back to New York effective 01 January 2008) on a teambuilding event to Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is the birthplace of rockabilly, rock 'n roll and the blues. I truly enjoyed Memphis and all that it has to offer. Graceland and Beale Street, along with the Memphis Zoo and Sun Studio, were the main highlights. Heimzwerg accompanied me. Annette, Heimzwerg and I had fun touring Sun Studio. The photograph above of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash is one of the most famous in all of rock n' roll history - it was taken on 04 December 1956. B.B. King is yet another famous Memphis personality. I highly recommend a visit to Memphis, Tennessee - it is a living piece of history, along with being lots of fun.
