    I've toured GRACELAND. From the moment I walked up the steps, out front..I couldn't stop crying. Feeling completely overwhelmed and sensing Elvis' presence. It was the most profound experience of my life.

    My daughter Alyssa was born July 30 1992. I put her in her swing and she would cry she did not like that swing. So every single time I put her in it and turned on the radio, they were playing Elvis music. She stopped crying every time. And her love for Elvis began.

    I remember it being very sureal. We travelled from Australia, pretty much 30+ hours in a plane, landed in LA, then to Memphis. Arriving early hours of the morning, stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel I think it was, it began to rain, I was reminded of the song " Walking in Memphis". But, what an experience, the whole trip was fabulous, but Graceland never leaves you, ever.

    That’s exactly how I felt when I first visited in 1985, it wasn’t that I felt unwelcome, but it felt as though I was visiting somebody’s house who was either away or just in a different room. It was a very weird feeling. Maybe I felt that way because at the time Elvis‘s aunt Delta was still living in the home. And yes it still feels like a home, not a museum or a tourist attraction. That is the charm of Graceland…

    I was young when Elvis passed away, and didn’t quite understand the significance. Later my cousin introduced me to his movies. After watching almost all of his movies, I cried for the loss of such a talented man. When my children were born, I sang each of them an Elvis song as their lullaby. They are all Elvis fans now as well. So his beautiful voice and entertaining movies are living on in new generations.

    Drove to Graceland on our road trip from Flagstaff Arizona to Pennsylvania with my two sons 20 and 15. December 2020. American history and Elvis artifacts seem to live and breath in this home and makes it America’s #1 home in the United States to see. It’s a Bucket list item I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to do and got to do it with two loves of my life. I was so proud and so happy I did it and I recommend for all fans of Elvis to make the trip to do this.

    I can tell you from experience that his spirit still in the Sun studio as well. When I walked through the door I almost fell over. It was like walking into a wall of energy. I spent part of the time like flat on the floor well the tour guide was telling us about the history of sound. For the rest of my vacation in Memphis I had a hard time getting out of bed. When I got back to Boston I went for an acupuncture treatment. The practitioner told me that my spirit was out of my body. And I told her I know exactly when it happened. It was that walk that step into sound studio.
