I arrive at Graceland. I pull into the parking lot and am handed the rules of tour engagement. Too bad, it says no flash photography allowed. That's going to make my job of capturing Graceland a chore. Oh, well.

Into the complex I go.

On the way to the ticket counter I hear the music of Elvis. Apparently Sirius Satellite Radio has installed an all Elvis radio station within the complex. Service subscribers from all over North America can listen to Elvis music broadcast from Graceland around the clock.
