Walter Johnson Flight cases.

hmm...under 30...?? Oh well...

Did you "cheat" (above - the two mini-urls...duh) or did you actually know this?

I prefer not to think of it as cheating, rather using my keen observational skillZ.

I went back and re-read the question, well knowing there'd be a clue in there. Hard cases was my first inclination after my first bad guess because tuba players seem willing to spend $XX,XXX on a tuba, then carry it around in a sack. Your clue only clarified what kind of case and the connection to Elvis.

So yeah, I suppose I cheated.

And I'm just a few years over thirty.

No, Elvis is not dead. He just went home.

Do not drive in Memphis on August 17, the nutto's come out of the wooworks to hang on the gates at Graceland.

Unfortunately, I was not only in Memphis but had to drive down Elvis Presley Blvd. on August 17. I don't know the town well enough to take an alternate route so I just settled in for the slow pace.

I did come to realize that the people who make the pilgrimage to Graceland think he's going to walk down the drive to say hello. Weird bunch.
