Elvis Presley Tour Part 2: Elvis Inspired Guitars and Favorite Local Restaurant

Elvis Presley Tour Part 2

In 2009 Kit Stafford, now Executive Director of the Gumtree Museum of Art was working in the Tupelo Public School District as an art teacher. She had the idea for school art teachers and students to paint guitars based on Elvis songs and Mississippi music history.
The Downtown Main Street Association approved the project. In 2009-2010,  the Elaine Dundy and Roy Turner Foundation funded the project.
Furthermore, Kit’s husband, Russell, owner of Tupelo Screen Printing, designed the steel guitars and Digital Impressions produced them. As well, the local Sherwin Williams donated all the metal latex paint, which has a 50-year life span, for the project.
Presently, Tupelo has 17 guitars and more are planned in the upcoming months.

More history…

Elvis Presley's favorite restaurant is still open!
Johnnie’s Drive-In was one of Elvis’ favorite restaurants. This restaurant is located only a short distance from the school Elvis attended. His favorite food at Johnnie’s was the cheeseburger.

Elvis is famous for his food cravings. Some of his favorites were cheeseburgers, pork chops, sauerkraut, and the Fool’s Gold Loaf (from Colorado Mine Company in Denver, CO). This sandwich consisted of Italian bread, hollowed out and filled with 1 pound bacon, 1 jar peanut butter, and 1 jar grape jelly!

However, Elvis loved grilled peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich. He flew his private plane from Vegas to Memphis on occasion just to have his maid make him this sandwich!
