B.B. King took his first big chance on music when he accidentally broke the smokestack off a tractor, and was so scared that he grabbed his guitar and ran to Memphis, Tennessee, where he realized his music could make money. So he returned to the farm, worked off the debt, and quit to pursue music. The smokestack is now located in the BB King Museum in his hometown.

There's little doubt that rock n roll was born with Memphis' Sun Records in the mid-1950s. Sam Phillips started recording the blues, and captured the voices of new talent from the area, like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The rest was rockabilly history. This band shirt design features the famous yellow Sun Records logo, and it says "Where Rock n Roll was Born" and the year of Sun's founding, 1952. The bottom reads "Memphis, Tennessee".
