| Mmmm, smell that burnt
oxide... The legendary RCA Studio "B" in Nashville, TN, which opened in 1957 and soon became synonymous with the distinctive Nashville sound and helped shape the Country and Western Music business into the billion-dollar industry it is today. Elvis Presley, Floyd Cramer, the Everly Brothers, Chet Atkins, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves and Willie Nelson and many more recorded here.

The Southern Folklore Cafe, Memphis, TN, where we unknowingly crashed a wedding reception. Blind Mississippi Morris and Brad Webb are performing here. |
| Slave Haven, Memphis Tennessee,
the former house of Jacob Burkle, an abolitionist who helped slaves escape
from Memphis through the Underground Railroad. The house could be
recognized by the slaves for having the three tallest magnolia trees in
town.
People supportive of the escaped slaves would hang quilts with designs that provided information - where to go, how much longer, the escape routes, etc.

Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. We also hiked up to the top of Seneca Rocks, but the pictures of Seneca suffered from the bright glare of the mid-day sun. |
