TCB: Takin' Care of Business
This morning started off with a bang! Well, something like that.
Our mission was to find Ray’s high school that he attended in his “boyhood” home of Little Rock, Ark. With a little help from some fellow TMAers, we continued our journey to North Little Rock High School.
Ray Clark is definitely the talk of NLRHS. We discovered where Ray had his first kiss (with the captain of the cheerleading squad, Berta), and because he is still so popular in Little Rock, he even has his own parking space (see video). After seeing the Charging Wildcats' football field we decided to head to Memphis, home of The King.
GRACELAND!! Who knew Elvis was still alive??Ross spotted Elvis while we were inside his house at Graceland (but no-else saw him, so it seems Ross had an early “wake-up” call this morning). The one-piece jumpsuits and shag carpeting couldn’t stop John from doing a little Elvis impersonation (see awkward video).
We tooled around the Graceland mansion, the “Lisa Marie” airplane tour, the automobile museum all for the love of Elvis -- "The King.”
We decided we’d had enough mullets and sideburns for one day and decided to check out the infamous Beale Street to spread more of our TMA passion.
BB King’s Blue Bar was first where we indulged in tropical drinks (Basia made sure that they all included Passion fruit) and fan-tabulous BBQ pork sandwiches, both so wonderful and yummy the instant they touched our lips. Ross, Kristin and Amanda tore up the dance floor Tina Turner style.
We met the famous Carl Darvin, a Blues guitar player who had strummed with the best of ‘em of the past 50 years. Carl’s advice for those who are passionate about music: Don’t drink and drive.
We decided we would make our way to Nashville, but not without another stop at Alfred’s and another completed mission, the Elvis impression (we love John).
Nashville or Bust!
