Hi there,

This summer, I had a pleasure of visiting Sun Studios in Memphis, TN
for the second time in my life. The place is now really taken care of
properly: there is a nice tour with a funny and informative tour guide
(the guy is a musician himself), and they have built a museum room
upstairs with original gear from used in the studio in the 50's. I've
always been a huge Elvis fan and somehow Sun Studio was always THE
neatest EP-related place...sure gave me some shivers down my spine
when I looked at those original wall tiles and imagined the music that
was created there in the 50's.

Aaanyway, I just though that some might be interested to know that it
is still actually used a studio. You can rent it for $75/hour,
engineer included. Wouldn't it be cool to record there... to make your
own 'Sun Single' Perhaps they'd still let you use Shure 55 that
Elvis used in his recordings (that's still there on display).

Here's some info about the original gear if someone's interested:
