I went to Memphis in summer 1980. The Sun building was there, and there was a person in the front office who collected $10/each to walk into the studio. No tour. No guitars, No equipment in the control room. It was very sad. I knew where I was and imagined all the great music that was recorded there, but it was essentially abandoned. I bought a Sun Studios tee shirt and we left. I'm glad to see it's been properly restored and people can record there again.

I too was there in 2001 and no one was there for a tour, I was able to play the Bass that was there, and played the drum kit(i use play loosely ) we bought what swag that was available which i think gave us more leeway, and it was during the week during the Autumn, so it was slow. My Girl and i had pics taken like the million dollar quartet. still have the swag including the sun ticket and have no idea why they even had them , there was only 2-4 other people. It was so cool just being there, the temple of Rock n Roll. Also dont stay at the Elvis theme hotel it really sucked. The Peabody is so cool, yes the ducks, and the Roll around Bar in the lobby. Memphis didnt disappoint, music, Food, History, and party on Beal St.

The magic of Sam Philips and his studio just never ends. It's truly a global phenomenon. Once this Covid crisis ends, the tourists will be flocking back to Memphis in even bigger numbers.

Would love for you guys to come back my town of Muscle Shoals and do Wishbone Studio and Cypress Moon (Muscle Shoals Sound #2). Billy Lawson at Wishbone would love to host you guys for a One Mic Session. I’m sure of it.

Hi Blaine, yes, we would love to return to Muscle Shoals, Memphis, and head to Nashville for the first time. The issue is always finding the right acts to take this method on.

Thanks for this! I somewhat futilely asked to take a peek at the control room when I was there in June of 2017 and was understandably told no :p Now to maybe record there someday...
