You can visit Sun, which by night is still a working studio, today. The tours cost $15 a head, take about an hour, are led by knowledgeable, passionate volunteers. The studio proper is as it was in Elvis’s day, with some of the original microphones and instruments, and x marks on the floor indicating where are Elvis, Scotty and Bill stood. There is also an impressive museum of this little building. Sam Phillips discovered and recorded B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Rufus Thomas, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich, and Roy Orbison. Say what you like about  rock ’n’ roll, but that’s an extraordinary contribution to the cultural history of the 20th century from one car-parts workshop in the middle of nowhere.
