Riding With The King

I was pretty excited to return to Memphis this past week.  I spent many years as a consultant in Memphis.  It would not be an exaggeration to say that in the early 1990s, I went to Memphis over 100 times.  So when I was invited to go there for a meeting after 20 years in a different context, I greatly looked forward to it.

An additional incentive was to then drive over to Little Rock, Arkansas to host an event at the Clinton Presidential Library.

I promptly packed my bag, kissed Mini on the cheek, gave Rahul a hug, patted Fred on the forehead and skipped to the airport in delight.

Hope you enjoy this photo essay.

I.  Beale Street
Excellent music and food at the famous bar





Motorbike Wednesday on Beale Street

II.  The Peabody Hotel
At 11 am ducks come out of the elevator and 5 pm they return




Worth watching this 12 second video above


III.  The King
In 1993 they released Elvis' stamp - I visited Graceland back then



IV.  Another King
One of my favorite albums - I highly recommend it!





V.  On to Little Rock
Bucket list for me - to visit my favorite President's library!




Replica of the Oval Office


That was fun!
