I would agree. If you are into music, Memphis is the epicenter of American popular music (in my opinion, more so than Nashville).
Blues,Rock, Bluegrass,Country. Elvis certainly in Memphis, but so much more. Sun Records, Stax Records, Beale Street, the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum, Gibson Guitars.....
And not to leave out the ducks in the Peabody Hotel lobby ;-)
Gibson in Memphis closed years ago.
