Here is a photo I took of the Lorraine Motel which is now a part of the National Civil Rights Museum.  The Lorraine Motel at 450 Mulberry Street Memphis, Tennessee is where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

This photo was taken in Memphis, Tennessee by me. Sun Records is a record label founded in Memphis, Tennessee, starting operations on March 27, 1952.
Founded by Sam Phillips, Sun Records was notable for discovering and first recording such influential musicians as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.

Amazing how such a little building turned out so many great artists and hits.

Being a musician and a lover of music it always gave me a desire to tour Graceland.  Elvis transformed music as we know it today. Elvis paved the way for rock n roll.  Elvis is the King Of Rock N Roll!

Perhaps more stars will create museums such as this, because Graceland is truly amazing. For more information on Graceland visit this link http://www.elvis.com/graceland

Here are some photos I took while touring through Elvis’s Graceland. I hope they inspire you to make a trip.

In San Antonio, Texas. there is a place that is so Japanese that you might think you are in Japan. It is Sunken Gardens Japanese Tea Garden located in Brackenridge Park. This park is also home to the San Antonio Zoo.

The park is quiet and lush with exotic vegetation and plants. There is a pavilion and beautiful waterfall within the gardens too. For more information check out http://www.saparksfoundation.org/japaneseteagarden.html

Here are some photos I took while touring the garden. I hope they inspire you to visit this wonderfully, beautiful place, and best yet, it is free.

Pepperoni – A Haiku

Posted: June 26, 2013 in Poetry

It’s so amazing how something simple as pepperoni can become a haiku. I was making an Italian sandwich when this came to mind.

Pepperoni

Circular tasty

On sandwiches or pizza
