He was THE KING, Happy Birthday Elvis


Today is Elvis’ 75 birthday.

Steph and I visited Graceland last Sunday… I expected it to be tacky…

I was wrong… It was strangely human… The house is smaller than expected… and Elvis is there, throughout the building…

I visit a lot of house museums... I run a house museum... Graceland was something special. It's 1970's in a way that seems right... Its a home first, a temple of worship second... The feeling follows throughout... The Colonel's office, the trophy room, the graveside... All unexpectedly moving...

Enjoy the photos….
