Good old Memphis Tenn. Sorry to go off topic, but I was looking at a book my wife got years ago when she visited Elvis's home on a school trip.

It brought back MANY memories. Looking at the back of the book cover almost brought a tear to the eye My birth place is Memphis (in good old Shelby County), and I actually lived right next door to Elvis's home in a small residential community that popped up next door.

The picture in this book she has shows a (from the sky) shot of Elvis's home, and to my "amazement", my old street

Ahhhh memories. My brother and I were adopted years ago and left Memphis to later live way up north in Meadville PA, then the family moved up to Erie. Now here I am in West Virginia.. Boy how things change

When I saw the subject line I thought you were going to post you playing/singing "Memphis Tennessee" by Johnny Rivers

MEMPHIS
(C. Berry)

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call
'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on the ridge
Just a half-a-mile from the Mississippi bridge

Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With "hurry home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
But we were pulled apart because her Mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Help me information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
