Elvis' living room 9-29-08

As much as anything, Graceland is a museum of the 60-70's, because most of the house is as he left it when he died. My overwhelming memory of the place when we were here 2 years ago was of green shag carpet, memorable since it was almost the same color and texture as that which graced my lovely home circa 1972-75. I heard one of the guides tell someone that this room was redone recently. You can bet a white sofa that was new in 1960, wouldn't look this good in 2008, so our boy did not put his bottom on these cushions, but his mother's room across the hall, still has her housedresses hanging in the closet.
