Ibhulakufesi lokuqala lokukhempa lasendle bese liya endaweni yokuzalwa ka-Elvis. Endleleni kukhona isilwane esingeke sabela sona. Umoya Wenkosi?
Bese ubeka isikhumbuzo ekuseni ngovivi. Kubonakale owesifazane omhlophe ehlukumeza ujingi kuvulandi wesikhungo sokuzala. Lapha inkosi yayizilolongela ukunyakazisa nokugingqa!
Encokola eceleni. Isikhumbuzo siklanywe ngothando nangesizotha. Yize le ndawo ingasadla imbuya ngothi njengoba kwenzeka eminyakeni engu-12 ehlala lapha kodwa uyawuthola amazwibela okuqala kwakhe.
Qhubekela eMemphis, namanje eTennessee. Ngokufanelekile, sihlala eGraceland. U-Lisa Marie usisebenzela inkundla yokukhempa ngaphesheya kwendawo kayise.
Le ndawo akuyona eyasebukhosini, kodwa ilungile. Asinawo umthunzi, kodwa sithola isimo somoya emotweni. Kubuhlungu, kodwa...
Sithatha i-shuttle yamahhala siye e-Sun Studio bese singena endaweni engcwele. Enkabeni yedolobha sibhukha ukuvakasha kwefekthri yesiginci yase-Gibson ngosuku olulandelayo futhi sinqamule u-Beale Street siye e-Mississippi. Sithola imnyuziyamu ka-Ernest Withers, umthwebuli wezithombe waseMemphis, phakathi kwezinye izinto, owayengumthwebuli wezithombe kaMartin Luther King.
Emuva emakhempini sithola ukuthi i-air conditioning ayisebenzi. Kwakuwohloke kakhulu! Ugesi wesifunda uphele ngoba kukhona oshayise isigxobo sikagesi e-Elvis Boulevard. Sekuqala ukufudumala eqhugwaneni lethu futhi kancane kancane wonke amajeneretha esizeni ayaqala. Umoya usikhumbuza ukuqala e-Indianapolis.
Sihamba ekuseni ngakusasa. Sivakashela i-Civil Rights Museum kanye ne-Gibson Guitar Factory futhi senza indlela yethu e-Little Rock, e-Arkansas.
