The Lauderdale Courts housing project where teen Elvis Presley lived (1949-1953) long ago fell to the forces of gentrification, undergoing a $36 million renovation into the Uptown Square complex. Yups of all description are now happily ensconced in their renovated apartments, awash in WiFi. However, in apartment 328, you can still live as Elvis did.

The lauderdalecourts (www.lauderdalecourts.com) lives on in this one apartment, preserved as an Elvis shrine; visitors can ogle the place during festivities surrounding Elvis's death- and birthdays, or rent the whole place out for $249 per night otherwise. (The Presleys paid $35 per month.) You got two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, and living room, all tricked out in period crap furniture and Elvisabilia. Don't be fooled by the authentic Frigidaire in the kitchen -- there's also a microwave concealed in a cabinet, and a hidden flatscreen TV in the living room. Mementos aside, just consider that the Elvis bedroom was likely the scene of young Mr. Presley's most enthusiastic demonstrations of teenage self-love; there might even be a few flicks of Kingly DNA left on the headboard, if you look carefully.

I recorded this video at the "Conversations on Elvis" at the Malco Paridiso Theater on Wednesday, August 11, 2004.

Elvis' Costar Celeste Yarnall discusses how Elvis reacted to the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Also at this conversations were Jerry Schilling, Joe Esposito, and A Little Less Conversation co-writer Billy Strange.

(acetates from the June 1970 sessions and rare live recordings from 1970 to 1977)

A new project for a new label that will be released soon is Patch it Up..

MUSIC FOR FANS – would like to afford you the opportunity of listening to a concept album dedicated to the best Elvis studio session of the 1970’s. Instead of providing another compilation in an already over saturated market we present something new, something different and exciting. We started with a large collection of Elvis acetates and decided to finally do justice to the album ‘Elvis Country.’ With an innovative tracklist we provide a different sound to that provided by the postproduction pieces of Felton Jarvis, a sound that Elvis should have been allowed to enjoy. We feel we have given life to a new Elvis, an Elvis others don’t know. We see Elvis take shape as musician and producer through 13 studio tracks completely unedited, raw yet musically complete. In addition we have added 14 rarely heard and mostly unedited live tracks that cover all the musical activity of Elvis in the 1970’s. We feel that they give you an idea of the musical evolution of Elvis from August 10th 1970 right up to his last concert in Market Square Arena.

We have supported our ambitious project with an informative and professional 16-page booklet containing rare and unedited shots. The project is the culmination of a lengthy period of pre-production involving research and selection, and the often difficult and delicate phase of restoring, remastering, and remixing of the chosen material. The final result is something we hope even Elvis would have enjoyed. The song selection and booklet layout are, of course, hugely influenced by our own views on the music of Elvis, we hope your ideas are reflected in some way and that you enjoy our work as this is all we ask.

Elvis, who was bumped to the No. 2 spot last week among biggest-earning dead celebrities, has been unable to come up with enough orders to justify his own Tennessee specialty license plate. Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Regional Medical Center at Memphis (The Med) kicked off the license plate campaign last October as a fund-raising effort for The Med, home of the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center.

"We're struggling here," said Sandy Snell, vice president of public relations for The Med. She said this week about 500 people have placed orders, but the state requires a minimum of 1,000 orders to justify producing a specialty plate. "We thought it would be so easy, but we've gotten to this 500 mark and we're kind of stuck," Snell said. She advertised the campaign locally and in Middle Tennessee, then said she ran into budget constraints at The Med and hasn't been able to advertise in East Tennessee. The first deadline passed during the summer, but The Med was granted a one-year extension -- until July 1, 2007 -- to try to come up with another 500 buyers. Elvis Presley Enterprises spokesman Kevin Kern said EPE has promoted the plate in its newsletter and on its Web site, elvis.com. It renewed the Web site push with a reminder on the site's opening page Thursday.
"We continue to support The Med in their effort to make the Elvis license plate a reality," Kern said. The Elvis Web site directs Tennesseans interested in buying an Elvis tag to the Web address mscruggs@the-med.org . Or they can call The Med at (877) 545-3757. There is serious competition in the specialty plate field with about 150 plates offered through the Tennessee Department of Revenue. Five Memphis area plates are among them -- for LeMoyne-Owen College, Rhodes College, the University of Memphis, LeBonheur Children's Medical Center and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Elvis and The Med are not the first to run into the 1,000-minimum stumbling block. When the Memphis Grizzlies and the National Civil Rights Museum attempted to create specialty plates, they were unable to get 1,000 orders. However, the Tennessee Titans football team is one of the top five sellers among specialty plates in the state.

Revenue department communications director Emily Richard said the top five and the annual revenue produced by the plates are: Friends of the Smokies ($512,000); agricultural plate ($279,000); environmental plate with the iris, the state flower ($277,000); Watchable Wildlife ($276,000); and the Titans ($196,000). Specialty plates cost about $35 more than a regular license plate, and Snell said The Med would receive about $20 of the revenue for each plate sold. She said she has had numerous calls from people outside the state who are interested in an Elvis plate, but the orders must come from licensed Tennessee drivers to qualify. Snell said she has set up recruitment booths at Memphis Grizzlies basketball games, at NASCAR races and auto shows. "It's not like we haven't tried, but there's only so much you can do."

For Elvis, the effort that has fallen short was the second bad news in a week. Elvis, the perennial No. 1 earner among dead celebrities, was knocked to No. 2, behind grunge rocker Kurt Cobain, in the latest listing by Forbes magazine. Snell said she is still hopeful that EPE's Web site solicitation will produce extra orders, but she said she still wishes for a bigger advertising presence.

"If we could get Elvis to sing across Tennessee, maybe it would be OK," she said. "We could get him to say, 'Don't be cruel. Buy my tag.'

A new edition in the "Elvis & Friends" series has been released by Payless Entertainment Limited in Australia. The 40 track 2CD release includes tracks by Carl Perkins, Tom Jones, Ricky Nelson, Brook Benton, George Jones, Brenda Lee, Al Martino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Lloyd Price, Pat Boone and Lowell Fulsom.

All of the "friends" tracks are versions of well known Elvis recordings such as Mary In The Morning, Love Me Tender, Fools Rush In, His Latest Flame and Hi Heel Sneakers.

The 13 Elvis tracks are the title track plus I Was The One, Blue Moon of Kentucky, Baby Lets Play House, That's All Right, I Got A Woman, Heartbreak Hotel, Long Tall Sally, Hound Dog, Blue Suede Shoes, Money Honey, Maybelline, Tweedle Dee, and Can't Help Falling In Love.

Dayton Daily News article after Elvis Presley performed at UD Arena in October 1976.

The lights went down, and the theme song from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey started to play — and the
13,750 fans at the University of Dayton Arena came to their feet.

Shantay Parrish of New Carlisle had camped out at the arena with her mom in the cold for two days to get her
tickets. The 15-year-old had waited weeks for this night.

It was time to see Elvis.

Thirty years ago today, Elvis Presley performed at the University of Dayton Arena. It was his fourth show at
the arena, and unknown to the fans, it would be his last show there.

For fans like Shantay, it has been a long time since Oct. 26, 1976, but the memories of that night remain
etched in their minds. "Every hair on my body stands up when I think about it," she said.

A ticket stub from Elvis Presley's Oct. 26, 1976 concert at the University of Dayton Arena. For Presley, who had made numerous appearances in the Miami Valley, it would be his final visit.

The royal treatment in Dayton

On Oct. 25, 1976, Elvis' plane, the Lisa Marie, left Fort Wayne, Ind., and arrived at Dayton International
Airport at 1:45 a.m. Elvis and his entourage went to Stouffer's Hotel, now the Crowne Plaza Hotel, in
downtown Dayton. He had the ninth floor for himself. Of course, others tried to join him.

"My sister and I went to the Stouffer's Hotel, hoping to see him," said Elvira Allen of Hamilton. "We were
allowed in the lobby; we just couldn't get off of the elevator on the floor Elvis was staying on."

A group of Elvira's friends had waited 36 hours around UD Arena for tickets that went on sale Oct. 1. at 7 a.
m. Blanket-covered fans watched bootleg 8mm Elvis concerts on white sheets and on the backs of books
while they waited. Arena employees ran extension cords outside, so fans could play music. Security guards
estimated the crowd at 5,000. Nearly half of the arena was sold out by 10 a.m.

"The day of the concert, we decided to go to the beauty parlor. While we were there, there was another lady
getting one of those bouffant hairdos. ... It was obvious she was going to the show," Elvira said.

The women were all talking about Elvis. When the woman learned where Elvira's seats were, she tried to do
the unthinkable — separate Elvira from her precious sixth-row seats.

"The woman was taking her teenage daughter and wanted to get as close to Elvis as she could get. The
woman kept raising her price until she got to $100. The original ticket was $12. I told her, 'Lady, you don't
have enough money to buy my ticket.' "

Security fit for a king

Dayton Police Sgt. Larry Powell was responsible for watching the elevator on the ninth floor of Stouffer's
Hotel and making sure fans — including Elvira — never made it to Elvis.

"I never went into Elvis' room, but I saw him several times. He'd come out and ask us what time it was. That's
where I blew it. I should have given him my watch, and maybe he'd have bought me a car or something,"
Powell said. "He was a very nice person. We were told we could order room service and have anything we
wanted."

Of course, Elvis always got what he wanted, even if the hotel couldn't meet his needs. "Elvis loved pizza rolls,
and nobody could find them in the hotel," Powell said. "So he sent his people out looking for them. We had to
give them directions to the store."

According to a Dayton Daily News article from Oct. 24, 1976, Dayton Sgt. Charles Dungan headed up the 35-
officer detail protecting Elvis during his two days in Dayton.

"Colonel (Tom) Parker calls me up when they first schedule the show and set up a security force. We
supplement Elvis' own security people, set up building and room security, and get him to and from the show,"
Dungan said.

The concert started at 8:30 p.m. The Sweet Inspirations and J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet were
getting the crowd warmed up. Elvis left Stouffer's a little after 9 for the short drive to UD Arena. The car pulled
into the arena and Elvis entered the building.

Up close and personal.

Elvis Presley's Oct. 26, 1976 concert at the University of Dayton Arena. For Presley, who had made numerous appearances in the Miami Valley, it would be his final visit.

Bob Heis of Miamisburg had seen Elvis many times before. He attended 49 Elvis concerts — his first in 1971.
Bob was not just a local fan catching the Dayton concert — he was an Elvis photographer. Bob used a single-
lens reflex camera and often got front-row seats to get the best shots. If he didn't get toward the front, he
found a way to move up.

"I'd see a woman with a small child and I'd offer to make her copies of my photos if I could have the kid's
seat," Bob said.

Bob was friends with other photographers and avid fans. Bartering was a commonplace among them to
capture Elvis from as close as possible during each show. "I spent two days at UD and got 10 front-row
seats," Bob said. After getting tickets, Heis would find other photographers and fans looking for seats, and
they would trade. "I'll give you two seats in Dayton for two seats in Chicago."

Thirty years later, Bob's Ohio license plate remains ELVIS, and he has no plans on changing it anytime soon.

'The most perfect voice ever'

"I got back from the military, and a girl I was dating at the time got me three seats," said Bill Rowe of Dayton.
"We got down there at about 5:30 p.m. and we couldn't get across the Stewart Street Bridge. It was
pandemonium down there."

By 1976, Bill had seen Elvis more than 25 times — mostly in Las Vegas. For him, the anticipation was the
best part.

"The lights go down and then you hear the first strands of 2001, and it's just the best entrance anybody had,"
Rowe said. "I've always said that Elvis could have sat down and read the phone book. He had the most
perfect voice ever."

From his Elvis carpet to his collection of music and rare memorabilia, Bill can see Elvis up close every day.
For most of the last three decades, he has been first in line at Graceland every August for the candlelight
vigil during which thousands file past Elvis' gravesite in Memphis. "I miss him so much."

Eye to eye with Elvis

Elvis took to the UD stage around 9:40 p.m. It was vintage Vegas-era Elvis. That night he wore a jumpsuit
emblazed with an orange flame on the front and back.

See See Rider and I Got a Woman were his first two songs. Shantay Parrish would have loved to have been
Elvis' woman. The 15-year-old had loved Elvis from a young age. Her mother was a fan and took Shantay to
her first concert in Cleveland when she was 11. "I think I must have been conceived to Elvis music," Shantay
said.

Shantay wasn't like a lot of the other students at Tecumseh High School in the late '70s. They were listening
to Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Rolling Stones while she was still rocking to The King. "I didn't care. Back then
they were nothing to me. Nobody is like Elvis."

For the Dayton show, Shantay made Elvis a wall hanging featuring a man and a woman. It had the titles of
some of Elvis' love songs on it. During the show, she was determined to get it to him. "I was scared to death,"
she remembers. "I made my way down to that stage and unrolled it on stage so he could see it. He held it
down with his boot and looked at me and locked on my eyes — I just wet my pants. My heart (expletive
deleted) near stopped."

Shantay, whose last name now is Violette, recalls that Elvis' voice was in top form at the Dayton show. "When
he did How Great Thou Art, he brought the roof down."

Not long before How Great Thou Art, Elvis did a new song titled Hurt, and the crowd could not get enough of
it.

"Even though you hurt me/

Like nobody else could ever do/

I would never hurt, hurt you."

That was supposed to be the end of the song, but the fans demanded he sing it again.

Jerry Geisel of Kettering lucked out and was able to trade in his upper-level seats for floor seats.

His wife, Carol, got a new outfit for the show. "All the girls at the show were beautiful," Geisel said. Of course,
the girls were not the only people there who were beautiful. "Elvis was beautiful," Geisel said. "I ain't gay or
nothing, but Elvis was beautiful."

Carol walked up to the stage during Teddy Bear and tried to get a scarf from Elvis.

"Elvis wiped his sweat on it and gave it to Carol," Geisel said. "Then another woman swiped it from her. Then
another woman came in and they started fighting over it, and they wouldn't let go. Someone cut it in half.
Elvis motioned for Carol to go down to the end of the stage and he gave her a scarf."

Carol died last year. Geisel still has that scarf along with hundreds of other Elvis items.

Christmas in October

One thing most of those at the Dayton concert remember was the October surprise. "It was freezing outside,
and Elvis asked if he could sing a Christmas song," Shantay said. He treated the surprised crowd to Blue
Christmas — a song he rarely performed. "I just cried," Shantay said.

After Blue Christmas, Elvis performed his early hit That's All Right and ended the show with his traditional
closer — Can't Help Falling In Love.

After performing for one hour and 20 minutes, Elvis left the building. He stayed in Dayton that night. On June
26, 1977, he performed his final concert, in Indianapolis. Elvis died on Aug. 16, 1977 in Memphis.

When asked why Elvis fans have remained so dedicated over the decades, Shantay Violette said, "Elvis
wasn't God, but he was the next best thing."

Which MSG moment do you think was the GREATEST? We want to know what you think. Vote on the great moments below and then watch.

"The 50 Greatest Moments on MSG" - starting October 31^st to see how your list stacks up to ours.

It's a battle of some of the greatest U.S. and international stars, with Marilyn Monroe up against Elvis Presley, boxer Muhammad Ali, former President Bill Clinton and even Pope John Paul II.

U.S. television viewers are being asked to vote on the greatest moment at one of the world's most famous arenas, New York's Madison Square Garden, which has played host to a list of sports stars, musicians, politicians and religious leaders in its 127-year history.

Everybody who has been anybody has had a magical moment at Madison Square Garden, according to producers of a new TV series, "The 50 Greatest Moments at Madison Square Garden," that will be broadcast next week.

"It's based on the 50 most incredible experiences that have occurred in this building," said Michael Bair, president of sports and entertainment network MSG Media, which is airing the 10-part series from next week.

Madison Square Garden has been the name of four arenas in New York City, with the first opening in 1879 and the most recent in 1968 with the capacity to hold 20,000 people.

Throughout its history it has been a top venue for major stars and events.

These include Marilyn Monroe's 1962 birthday serenade to President John F. Kennedy on his 45th birthday, the 1971 fight in which Joe Frazier beat Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title, Elvis Presley's sell-out 1972 shows, and John Lennon's last live performance in 1974.

Pope John Paul II visited Madison Square Garden in 1979 and in 1982 the Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon held a blessing ceremony there for 2,075 couples which was dubbed a "mass wedding" by media at the time.

Bill Clinton accepted the presidential nomination at Madison Square Garden in 1992.

For The fFrst Time Ever Two Reproduction of Pre Fame Elvis Presley Acetates Available.

In mid November a 100 % reproduction of the two acetates, My Happiness/That’s When Your Heartaches Begin and It Wouldn't Be The Same Without You/I'll Never Stand In Your Way, that Elvis did in 1953 and 1954 will be released.

Both acetates will be exactly like the original ones. For the first time ever these reproductions of both pre fame Elvis Presley acetates be available in their originally form. Both are made on a 10” vinyl record that will play at 45 rpm.

This is a one of a kind and unique chance to own an exact copy of two of the most historical records of modern music. There will only be a limited amount of 300 copies of each record produced.

In August 1953 did a very young Elvis Presley walk into the local Memphis Recording Service. He paid $ 4.00 to recorded two sides and get them home with him on a one of kind two sided acetate. The songs were the two ballads My Happiness and That’s When Your Heartaches Begin.

Elvis probably hoped that Sam Phillips (the owner of Memphis Recording Service and the founder of the local record label Sun Records) would pay attention to him and that he might get a chance on being invited for a real recording session. Sam wasn’t there that day but Marion Keisker who at that time worked for Sam did the recordings and noted that Elvis was a great ballad singer.

In early 1954 Elvis still haven’t heard from Sam so he decided to go back and pay another $ 4.00 to record two more sides. This time did he record two more ballads titled It Wouldn’t Be The Same Without You and I’ll Never Stand In Your Way.

Nearly the same happened again. In other words Marion was impressed and saved a copy for Sam, but Sam wasn’t. It would take nearly another half year before Sam decided to call the young kid Elvis and invite him in for a try-out and a possible recording session. The rest is history.

For the first time ever will a reproduction of both pre fame Elvis Presley acetates be available in their originally form. Both are made on a 10” vinyl record that will play at 45 rpm. The labels are exactly like the original primitive ones.

The first one My Happiness/That’s When Your Heartaches was originally a white label with typewriting on it. The fun thing is that a leftover of the Sun label from Prisonaires’ Softly And Tenderly (Sun 189) single was flipped over so that the back was used. On the original acetate can you see that thru the label.

Exactly the same is the case with the new reproduction. (maybe not easy to see in the picture, but it is easy to see when you hold the record). The second one It Wouldn’t Be The Same Without You/I’ll Never Stand In Your Way was originally made with a more professional label. This time did Marion used a pre-printed Memphis Recording Service label. Again she used a typewriter to put the song titles and Elvis’ name on it.

Rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley ceded his crown to Nirvana.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley ceded his crown to Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain on Forbes.com's list as the top-earning dead celebrity.

The list, published on Tuesday, said grunge rocker Cobain earned $50 million between October 2005 and October 2006. Presley wound up in the No. 2 slot with $42 million, down from last year's $45 million.

Forbes.com bases its dollar amounts on licensing deals for using the deceased celebrities' work or image in advertising or elsewhere.

This was Cobain's first time on the list in its six years of publication. Presley has ruled the roost since its inception, said Forbes.com staff writer Lacey Rose.

Cobain's coup was due to his widow, actress and singer Courtney Love, who sold a 25-percent stake in the Seattle grunge group's song catalog to New York music publishing company PrimeWave.

Ranked after Presley is "Peanuts" cartoon strip creator Charles Schulz at $35 million.

Rounding out the top five were Beatle John Lennon at $24 million and groundbreaking physicist Albert Einstein at $20 million, whose estate profited from such licensing deals as the popular "Baby Einstein" educational videos.

Other celebrities on the list include Theodore Geisel, better known as children's book author Dr. Seuss; rhythm & blues pioneer Ray Charles and reggae superstar Bob Marley.

The only woman to rank in the top 13 was Marilyn Monroe. The actress, who died of an overdose in 1962, pulled in $8 million, good for ninth place.

Here is the rundown of the top 10 (the complete list is online at: www.Forbes.com):

1. Kurt Cobain, US$50 million
2. Elvis Presley, $42 million
3. Charles Schulz, $35 million
4. John Lennon, $24 million
5. Albert Einstein, $20 million
6. Andy Warhol, $19 million
7. Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel), $10 million
8. Ray Charles, $10 million
9. Marilyn Monroe, $8 million
10. Johnny Cash, $8 million

Next Monday, all musicians that participated in the last "Elvis The Concert" tour, return home again after a long and tiring trip.

But the crowd's reactions, especially in Australia, made the tiredness quickly go away.

However, on some Australian websites, not every visitor seems to be satisfied.

Some complain about the terrible quality of the footage on the main screen, others have noted that tickets prices dropped 50 pct. in the last week.

The display of Elvis suits on the other hand, is applauded by all the Aussie fans.

The story goes that Elvis Presley was kicked out of the Catholic Club for signing the thigh of a teenage girl
after he performed there in 1955. The sisters of Sacred Heart Academy banned boarding students from
attending Presley's shows, after the rumors of his shocking "hip gyrations" had reached their ears.

Stories about the future King of Rock 'n Roll in Helena vary as much as the opinions on his unique music
style. Though the details of Presley's legendary expulsion have been muddied by 50 years of creative
storytelling, most agree on this basic point: the late Father Gregory Keller, former St. Mary Church pastor,
told the ambitious musician to leave and never come back.

The Catholic Club, as it was known in the 1950s, was St. Mary's parish hall and Sacred Heart's school
gymnasium. The former Sacred Heart Academy was run by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth until 1962. The
club also served as Helena's community center because it was the largest building of its kind at the time.
Civic organizations, schools and other local groups frequently rented the club for banquets, meetings and
dances.

So when the young and not-yet famous Presley went looking for a place to perform in Helena, only 65 miles
southwest of Memphis, he was directed to the parish hall, in part by St. Mary parishioner and local celebrity
radio host "Sunshine" Sonny Payne.

In the 1950s, the then-thriving Delta town of Helena had become a magnet for regional musicians since
KFFA's "King Biscuit Time" had put Blues on the map in 1941.

Payne, 80, who has hosted the show since 1951, still broadcasts five days a week from the Delta Cultural
Center. On Oct. 4 he joined fellow parishioners, Nick Brocato, 79, Lynne Von Kanel, 70, and Annetta
Beauchamp, 77, at St. Mary Parish to remember the days The King played in Helena.

Payne recalled that Presley first approached his KFFA co-worker Larry Parker about playing a gig in Helena
in the early 1950s. He is uncertain of the exact date.

Long before his nationally televised appearances in 1956, Presley's early performances, in many small
Southern towns like Helena, were not officially documented. According to a Jan. 23, 2005, article in the
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, as well as the Web site www.elvisconcerts.com and the book, "Elvis: Day by
Day," Presley did shows at the Catholic Club at least four times in 1954 and 1955. These dates include Dec.
2, 1954; Jan. 13, 1955; March 8, 1955; and Dec. 14, 1955.

Payne said his first impression of Presley was not a good one. "He had on an old T-shirt and a cigar in his
mouth. He didn't impress me one bit," he said. "When you're in show business, you have to look like a show
person, and you can't do it in T-shirts or blue jeans."

Payne said Presley auditioned for Parker, who then told Payne, "'He's not bad.'" So Payne and Parker
approached Father Keller (the uncle of the current pastor in Carlisle and England, Father Thomas Keller) for
permission to rent the Catholic Club.

The cost was $15 for three hours, which was a lot of money back then. Payne and Parker each borrowed
$7.50 to come up with the fee because Presley did not have it and promised to pay them back after the show,
which he did.

But the second time Payne and Parker booked Presley at the Catholic Club, Jan. 13, 1955, they didn't get
their money back. And it was the last time the pair booked a show in Helena for the future superstar.

Payne said Presley asked if he could pay them back later, but he never did.
"Before he went into the Army I called and, got, 'Oh man, I'm gonna get it to you,' but after two or three calls I
said, 'Well, forget it.'"

Payne did eventually get his money, 50 years later. The Helena Chamber of Commerce contacted the Elvis
Presley estate about the debt and presented Payne with a $15 check at the annual chamber banquet in
February 2005. "I felt about this high," Payne said holding his hand a foot off the floor. "I was thoroughly
embarrassed.

Brocato said he worked the concession stand when Presley performed at the Catholic Club. He shared
Payne's view on Presley. "I wasn't a fan of his at all," he said. "You have to keep in mind that he was just
starting out when he came here. He wasn't an overnight success."

"The guys didn't like it, but the girls sure did," Von Kanel chimed in with a laugh. Brocato said he doesn't
remember a lot about the shows except when Elvis "did that little dance on the stage with that shuffling of his
feet (and) the girls went wild."

Von Kanel admits she was one of those girls.
"Oh, I went wild," she said. "I was one of those girls screaming and hollering."

The Sacred Heart graduate said she first heard Presley perform at the Catholic Club as the opening act for
Country Western stars Jim Ed and Maxine Brown. She saw him perform at least two other times at the club.
"His voice and his actions; we'd never seen anything like that before," she said. "This new rock 'n roll was
what the teenagers in my group were really eatin' up. We really loved it."

Brocato said he was there the night Presley was asked to leave the club, but he only saw the crowd of girls
rush on the stage after the performance. Though he heard lots of rumors, including that Presley was
"autographing their panties," he didn't actually see what happened.

Von Kanel quickly objected to that notion.
"I saw him autograph a girl's leg. She hiked her skirt up and he autographed her thigh. I didn't see any
panties," she said.

Neither of them saw or heard the exchange with Father Keller.

Beauchamp, who was not there, said she was told by several parishioners at the time that a "furious" Father
Keller told Presley, "You're a disgrace to manhood and don't come back anymore."

Von Kanel said she never saw that side of Presley. "We would all go backstage and talk and visit and get
autographs. He was very congenial, very nice," Von Kanel said. "The guys hated him."

"Looking back I don't see anything that was obscene or really bad about it, it was just that we weren't used to
that," she added.

Fellow Helena resident Billie Jo Moore, 68, spoke about her Elvis experience in an Oct. 5 telephone interview.
Moore graduated from Barton Public School in 1956 and she said she remembers seeing Presley at the club
twice. The first time she went with girlfriends and they had to sit in the bleachers because all the chairs on the
floor were full. "Kids from all the county schools went."

"He was an electrifying entertainer, but different from anything any of us had ever seen," Moore said. "The
shock value was just tremendous." She said she wouldn't call what he did indecent or inappropriate, but "it
was a stretch bordering on vulgar."

Presley even drew the attention of America, the national Jesuit magazine, in its June 23, 1956, issue. Titled
"Beware Elvis Presley," the author quoted several newspapers around the country that found Presley
troublesome. One described a performance in Wisconsin as a "'strip-tease with clothes on,' (and was) not
only suggestive, but downright obscene."

Moore also recalled Presley's "God-awful colored clothes." The gold pants were "gaudy," she said.

Nancy Norman, 68, is an Elaine High School graduate, also in 1956. Like Von Kanel, she first heard Presley
at the Jim Ed and Maxine Brown show. "My mother wouldn't let me go unless my Daddy went," she said in an
Oct. 5 telephone interview with Arkansas Catholic.

So Norman, her father and five or six girlfriends went and were "amazed" by what they saw. "I thought he was
an awfully nice young man," she said.

Norman said she, her father and friends went backstage to introduce themselves after the show and invited
Presley to eat dinner at the In Between, a former popular restaurant and hang out. "He was so conscious of
his hair," she said. "He combed his hair more than anybody I ever saw in my life."

"Then we followed him all over the countryside," she said.

Norman saw Elvis in shows in Earl, Wynne, Barton, Marianna and even Memphis, eight times in all from
1955-56, with three of these at the Catholic Club in Helena.

Payne and Brocato both said in later years they grew to enjoy Presley's music. "I never appreciated Elvis until
he died," Brocato added. "His songs about religion ... are really beautiful to give him credit for it."

"I had the greatest respect for him for what he did," Payne said. "He pulled himself up by the bootstraps with
the help of Colonel (Tom) Parker. He made a man out of him."

VINYL

Original 45rpm Sun Master 223 ‘Mystery Train’ Vinyl Repress

PROCESSED AND PRESSED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1955 FROM THE ORIGINAL SUN 45rpm MASTER 223 'MOTHER STAMPER'

The original Sun 223 45rpm issue of 'Mystery Train' was Elvis Presley's last record on the Sun Record Label released in August 1955.

It has now been released here for the first time since 1955 in its original format, processed from the same mother stamper that Sun used at the time. If you have never been fortunate to own the original pressing we present 'Mystery Train' back in its original format.

Full specifications and details to follow imminently.

The Sun Record Co. logo, with its striking shades of vintage yellow and brown, is one of the most recognizable designs in popular music history. It's also a moneymaking trademark that the historic Sun Studio at 706 Union Ave. in Memphis may no longer be able to use if the Nashville-based owner of Sam Phillips' famous Sun Records has its way.

Sun Entertainment Corp. — started by Shelby Singleton Jr. after he purchased Sun's assets from Phillips in 1969 — filed suit in federal court in Nashville this week, contending that the separately owned Memphis studio is violating the terms of a 1991 licensing agreement that governs the use of the logo.

The complaint says that the operators of the studio where Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash first recorded are improperly using "colorable imitations" of the logo in a way that avoids having to pay licensing royalties according to the terms of the 15-year-old contract.

John Schorr, president and general manager of Sun Studio Entertainment, the company that runs the Memphis studio, said he was "stunned" to learn about the lawsuit when made aware of it by The Tennessean on Wednesday.

"The ownership and management of Sun (Entertainment) has been to Sun Studio on many occasions spanning many years, without any indication of complaint about our licensed use of the Sun Record logo," Schorr said in an e-mailed response.

Mark Patterson, the Nashville attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Sun Entertainment, said the company appears to be selling merchandise using unauthorized logos that are almost identical to the trademarked Sun design. In addition, Patterson said the studio's Web site streams music by Sun artists, potentially im plying a false connection to master recordings owned by Sun Entertainment company.

"We felt that some of the things they we're doing went beyond the scope of the licensing agreement," Patterson said of the studio operators. "They pushed the envelope too far."

The studio itself was originally started by Phillips in 1949 as the Memphis Recording Service ("We Record Anything-Anywhere-Anytime"). The space mostly sat empty from the late 1950s until 1987, when a Memphis musician and radio host named Gary Hardy opened the Sun Studio as a tourist attraction, prompting a lawsuit that resulted in the 1991 licensing agreement with Sun Entertainment. Hardy filed for bankruptcy in 1995.

Neither Patterson nor Singleton could say how much money might be at stake with this suit, though the Sun name has gained exposure in recent years with renewed efforts to market Elvis memorabilia and last year's high-profile Johnny Cash biopic, "Walk the Line."

"I really couldn't tell you how much money is at stake," Patterson said. "That's part of the reason we filed this, so we could find out. "

ROCK ‘N ROLL’S YOUNGEST BODYGUARD.

Photo:Matt Barr who plays the young David Stanley and the gorgeous Danielle Keaton who plays his girlfriend and wife (left). David Stanley at the first screening of The Headhunter at the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills (right). The Real HeadHunter (center).

Trailer... http://www.theheadhuntermovie.com/

Recently LA2DAY was invited to a sneak-peak movie event, one quite different to the average Hollywood release. Sitting inside the nostalgic and quaint Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills, a charismatic and energized middle aged man stepped onto the stage to welcome us all. He was David Stanley, the writer and director of the recently completed movie The Headhunter, which we were about to watch. His opening words, “I was four years old when I moved into Graceland…,” had us all listening intently.

David was 16 years old when he was plucked from high school to begin touring with his older step brother, The King, his new boss, Elvis Presley himself. David watched Elvis through both his music and movie careers and essentially lived through the ups & downs of his step brother’s turbulent and eccentric life. Elvis immediately accepted David as his new family when he moved into Graceland at the age of four and ultimately let him be his confidant and personal bodyguard. To Elvis, David was known as The Headhunter.

The Headhunter is an insightful reflection of what it was like for a young man to be thrown into a surreal and almost chaotic lifestyle in order to serve his famous boss. It was compelling to see how honest David Stanley was, in not only sharing his glorious moments, where his ego soared high because of having just protected his boss from an assassination attempt, but more so in sharing with us the self destructive consequences of living a life that offered everything but stability and self control.

All one can say is that this movie is an unbiased and honest depiction of what it was like to live in the proximity of rock and roll royalty. For any Elvis fan around the world, this will be a movie worth watching. There are some revealing moments, accompanied by the expected struggles. Ones not far different than the problems of the common man, except in Elvis’ case, illuminated by a thousand spotlights and nourished by his trustees against their own will. Shedding light on the vivid inner struggles of those that cared for him, as they involuntarily partook in their boss’ spiraling downwards. Those who dare say anything were shunned and even David, being family and possibly the last line of defense between Elvis and everyone else, The Headhunter wasn’t able to protect The King from himself.
