The tin cans and string does work as I recall, although it's been 60 years since I did this.

2025-06-16 16:46:17 +0000 UTCAmber, it is tragic and terrifying that the significance of 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee is being lost to time, except for a small group of true music lovers and Rock & Roll historians and this includes the memory of it's criminally underrated Genius and Owner Mr. Sam Phillips. When I went to Memphis the first time, I only wanted to see three things, the original Sun Studio, STAX Records (which is another HUGE story on it's own) and The Lorraine Motel (which if you are not sure of the significance of this motel, please look it up!) I can tell you from my first hand account that the building at 706 Union Avenue is a living, breathing entity even to this day!! That studio will give you feelings you never knew you had until you are there in the flesh!! 706 Union Avenue is the original home of what Mr. Phillips called "Memphis Recording Service" which the building also shared his "Sun Records" label. He opened the door on January 3rd, 1950 and in less than a decade, Sam Phillips either discovered or recorded the very foundation of artist that made Rock & Roll!!!! On March 3rd or 5th, 1951 a year and two months after he opened he recorded what most experts consider to be the first Rock & Roll recording EVER! The song is "Rocket 88" by a group that on the record label was named Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats when in actuallty the group was Ike Turner and his Kings Of Rhythm......YES THAT IKE TURNER!! Other artist that walked through that door at 706 Union Avenue and recorded there were, B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Rufus Thomas and his daughter Carla Thomas, Tex Weiss, Charlie Rich, Bill Justis, Conway Twitty who actually recorded under his real name Harold Jenkins, Barbara Pittman, The Miller Sisters, and the man Sam Phillips himself said was his All Time Favorite artist to record, the incomparable Mr. Howlin' Wolf!! Then in a matter of less than two years Sun Records had discovered Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison. There was even a day on December 4th, 1956 when Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee, and Perkins were in the studio together completely by chance and the sound engineer Jack Clement decided to hit record on a jam session that would become to be known as the "Million Dollar Quartet"! It was not even known that the jam session had been recorded and the recordings had been rediscovered between 1981-1990! I was actually shocked that you either didn't know or just didn't recognize that the scene at the 18 min 18 second mark of the film when Johnny Cash hears the music being played and sees the two guys getting out of the car with one carrying a stand up bass and the other guy with the Pompadur haircut carrying the beer is the one and only Elvis Presley!! You then see Johnny walk up to the front of the building which is 706 Union Avenue, he then goes to the backdoor of the music studio and walks in on Sam Phillips recording a track sung by Elvis called "Milkcow Blues Boogie" which was recorded in November or December of 1954. The song was derived from a blues tune originally recorded in September 1934 called "Milk Cow Blues" by KoKomo Arnold. In the scene you see Elvis and his first band "The Blue Moon Boys" with Scotty Moore on guitar, Bill Black on stand up bass, and D.J. Fontana on drums but this was not completely accurate because D.J. Fontana didn't join the group until August, 1955. Also my favorite scene in the film when Sam Phillips gives the monologue about "The one song you would sing before you are dirt" didn't happen exactly like that either and Johnny Cash's first record with Sun Records was a song called "Hey Porter" on the A-side and "Cry, Cry, Cry" on the B-side which both became hits. There is so much history in this film likely due to time constraints that gets glossed over or in all fairness is some other artist story. The only issue I have about the film is the way that Vivian Liberto Cash was portrayed which angered the daughters of Johnny and Vivian. As much as I love Ginnifer Goodwin the actress that played the role of Vivian, the role was "whitewashed" because the real Vivian had to deal with severe racism due to her very dark skin because of her Sicilian heritage and according to those that truly knew her say she was not even close to the neurotic way she was portrayed. Also you mention that you may watch "La Bamba" next BUT I highly recommended to watch "The Buddy Holly Story" first!! Gary Busey puts on a Tour De Force performance where he does all the singing and playing as what I call "The Original Seed" Buddy Holly! Buddy Holly was one of the first if not the first artist, singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, producer in Rock & Roll!! Buddy Holly was also a HUGE influence on The Beatles in particularly one Sir Paul McCartney!! Attached is the trailer: https://youtu.be/FSzLTG5qkj4?si=SbcAHNVLoG19DBhg
