Afterthe racquetball game Elvis sat at this piano and played two songs, "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" and "Unchained Melody." I don't think anyone is positive which song he sang last. Then he walked to the main house to wash his hair and go to bed.

Early in the morning on the day he died, Elvis, his girlfriend Ginger Alden, his first cousin Billy Smith and Billy's wife Jo played a game of racquetball.
Elvis tried racquetball in the early '70s and liked it so much he had his own court built. It had a weight training area on the ground floor, full-sized racqeutball court and a Jacuzzi and dressing rooms upstairs. It was completed in 1975. It cost about $200,000. Elvis took so much pride in the effort he personally supervised the constructions.

They said this was a small fraction of Elvis' collection.

This room was briefly used as a gun range in the 60s. they even had bullet casings there in the case that they dug out of the walls. the bikes and stuff hanging are things that were stored in there. Vernon never threw anything away.

Elvis' Dad went in to Memphis and saw this furniture. He came back and told Elvis he just saw the ugliest furniture he'd ever seen so Elvis had to go check it out. Well, of course he loved it and bought it all.
