About a month back, my girlfriend and I tok a mini-vacation down to Memphis... just one of those things... we had some vacation days, we had some airline vouchers about to expire, so we said what the hell and hopped on a plane!
Well... if Memphis is the "Mecca," the " Jerusalem" for pickers and grinners like me, Sun Records must be Temple Mount hahahaha...
Let me tell you... Memphis is cool and all... we did Stax, Rock and Soul, Gibson, Nat'l Civil Rights... but man oh man, Sun Records... this tiny two-room tour was just phenominal.
Now, I know I wasn't supposed to use my camera at this point... but well, the gear junkie could resist...
The amp Ike Turner used on "Rocket 88".
Who would have thought that this busted-ass Valco "Seranola" would be responsible for the birth of Rock and Roll???
SWOOOOOOON!
