As soon as we arrived at Sun Studios, we were greeted by an amazing tour guide who's name we unfortunately don't remember. As he led us through the museum, he was ofter struck by his wandering mind and made off-topic comments that made us all giggle (including Mr.J). He talked really fast just like Dewey Phillips, who was the first DJ to ever play Elvis Presley on live radio. He emphasized how big of a role music "played" in integrating the races. "You can segregate people, but you can't segregate sound waves". We got to see actual drums and other instruments used by very famous artists such as Carl Perkins, Johny Cash, Howlin' Wolf, and the one and only Elvis Presley. Music brought people together in a time where nothing else could. Sun Studios managed to teach us all of this and yet we still had a "jammin" time.
