Ladies and Gentlemen,
dear Elvis Fans,

again we put a lot of work and money in one of our projects and are now
proud and glad to present it to you. This time more than 150 pages are
waiting for the fan - in the well known high grade of all products of
Praytome Publishing. A hard cover book printed on a heavy premium paper with
a special print finishing for a higher print quality, longevity and higher
impassivity.

More than 170 excellent shots of a professional photographer plus more than
60 candids as a perfect foil to them. The professional shots of three
concerts in a breathtaking quality will give you a "first row feeling". The
candids complete the historic view with background information, funny or
remarkable situations on stage and Elvis off stage in many little
occurrences happend around the tour of July 1975. It is a perfect
composition to turn back the time and to dip into a period were Elvis rule
the world and enthuses the masses.

In 1975 Elvis was not the "Rock ´n´ Roll boy" from 1954 any longer, but
against all prophecies of doom this book is the evidence, that Elvis Presley
has been at the top of his carreer by then. That the former young firebrand
has evolved into a man and has become the one and only "King of
Entertainment" forever. Through all generations and social levels he has
been the undisputable King.

As always Bud Glass has not only searched and compiled the photos. He gives
us substantial background knowledge about every single picture, the concerts
and the appropriate period of 1975.

When we brought out the book "Elvis Behind The Image" with high grade
materials and manufacturing, positive information and photos in the best
possible quality at a reasonable price, we took a route, which we kept on
moving with this new product.

Hendrix Gets Best Cover Honour.

Jimi Hendrix's reworking of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower has been
named the best cover version of all time topping a list of 50 covers
selected by Daily Telegraph music critics.

Pet Shop Boys came in second with their 1987 version of Elvis Presley's You
Were Always on My Mind and Sid Vicious's version of My Way was No 3.

Justifying the selection the critics said Hendrix's version of a from
Dylan's John Wesley Harding album completely outgunned the original.

The rest, in order, were: Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley, 1993, orig. Leonard
Cohen, 1984, Respect - Aretha Franklin, 1967, orig. Otis Redding, 1965,
Tainted Love - Soft Cell, 1981, orig. Gloria Jones, 1964, Mr Tambourine Man
- The Byrds, 1965, orig. Bob Dylan, 1964, Twist and Shout - The Beatles,
1963, orig. the Isley Brothers, 1960, Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters,
2004, orig. Pink Floyd, 1979, Mr Bojangles - Nina Simone, 1971, orig. Jerry

"The Elvis Story" To Play Montreal in April/May 2005.

A while back, a French-Canadian production team obtained licensing and
assistance from EPE for a Broadway-style Elvis musical they had created. The
Elvis Story has played to sell-out crowds each season at Le Capitole de
Quebec Theatre in Quebec City for over a decade. Occasionally, the show is
engaged in other cities. In April and May of 2005, The Elvis Story will play
the St-Denis Theatre in Montreal.

The cast and production team have done a fine job bringing the life and
career story of Elvis Presley to the stage. Learn more about this production
and get all the details about the Montreal engagement on the show's web
site: www.elvisstory.com. Do catch this highly enjoyable production if you

Chinese surrender to the "King of the Cats"

Beijing and Shanghai are all shook up by a red-haired, hip-swivelling
Canadian 'Elvis,'

At the height of the Cultural Revolution, a young Chinese woman named Chen
Shuzhen caught a glimpse of Elvis Presley in an illicit film. It was love at
first sight. For more than 30 years, she secretly nurtured the dream of
seeing the American pop idol. But throughout his lifetime, the music of the
man known to the Chinese as Mao Wang -- the King of the Cats -- was banned
by the Communist authorities.

This weekend, at the age of 62, Chen finally fulfilled her dream. Clutching
a pair of binoculars to make sure she wouldn't miss a single swivelling hip
or curled lip, the grey-haired chemistry engineer sat transfixed among an
enthusiastic crowd of fans in a Beijing concert hall, watching the first
official Elvis musical ever to perform in China.

"It was worth spending a month's income on a ticket to sit here," she said.
"I never had a chance to see him when he was alive, but now I'm getting the
chance. I feel like I've been transported to the America of the 1970s."
Almost half a century after the first eruption of Elvis mania in North
America, the King finally arrived in Beijing this weekend. And in a slightly
surprising twist, he was Canadian.

Martin Fontaine, the star of The Elvis Story, is a red-haired
French-Canadian rock singer who has become perhaps the world's most
successful Elvis performer. For almost a decade he has been the centrepiece
of a Quebec City production of The Elvis Story that has toured the planet,
playing to capacity crowds in France, Japan, the United States and now
China. The show generates more than $20-million in annual tourist spending
in Quebec City alone, where it plays to 120,000 spectators every summer.
Critics have sneered at the show.

When it played Toronto in 1997 in its English-language premiere, the reviews
were scathing. The Globe and Mail called it cheesy and embarrassing -- an
"utter failure." The Toronto Star called it a glorified nightclub act and a
bad impersonation of a musical. Its legions of fans didn't care. Since then,
the show has gone from strength to strength.

With a cast and crew of 24 Canadians, the production has played hundreds of
shows in Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, and even in Biloxi, Miss. -- not far from the
birthplace of the King himself. Promoters are talking to the Quebec
producers about a possible return visit to China and more shows next year in
Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. In Shanghai earlier this month, the
musical played its biggest-ever venue, an 8,000-seat stadium, where it
managed to fill two-thirds of the seats.

And in Beijing this weekend, despite minimal publicity, four performances of
The Elvis Story sold 70 to 90 per cent of the tickets at the 1,300-seat Poly
Theatre, one of the city's biggest concert halls. Most Chinese fans, unlike
those in Japan or the West, had never heard of Elvis during his lifetime or
even in the years after his death.

None of his albums was officially released in China until 1991. But in
China's new capitalist era, the King of the Cats is hugely popular. His most
instantly recognized song here is Love Me Tender, popular in karaoke bars
and often used in school textbooks to teach English. Tickets for the Elvis
musical were quickly snapped up in Beijing this weekend, despite prices of
up to $170 per ticket -- far higher than in other countries. Teenagers
brought their parents to introduce them to the music. Young female fans
squealed and fought for the sweat-soaked scarves that Fontaine tossed into
the crowd. "We love you Elvis," they screamed.

"I feel that I'm right in the middle of something I don't quite understand,"
Fontaine said in an interview yesterday. "We're pioneers here. The crowds
are getting bigger and bigger. Maybe it's curiosity, maybe it's because
we're foreign and they think we are exotic, but the people are very excited.
It's been very satisfying." Chinese newspapers gave rave reviews to the
show. "Martin Fontaine is so much like Mao Wang, in his makeup and costume
and singing and dancing, that he could almost be regarded as the real
thing," one Beijing newspaper wrote.

The fans were ecstatic. "Before the show, I didn't know much about Mao Wang,
but it was a wonderful evening," said Zhou Jing, a 22-year-old Beijing
woman. "Everyone in the audience was high. I was excited throughout the
show." Karen Jiang, a 34-year-old fan, recalled her shock when she
encountered Presley's music for the first time.

"When I first heard about Elvis, I couldn't understand why American music
was so crazy. Compared to our Chinese music in the 1980s, Americans such as
Mao Wang were considered crazy. But I don't think that any more. The Chinese
people have become a lot more open."

The Elvis Story had its origins in the early 1990s as an idea by Quebec
music impresario Guy Cloutier, who had attended dozens of Presley concerts
in Las Vegas. He recruited the artistic director Mouffe -- famed producer of
Quebec rock stars such as Roch Voisine and Robert Charlebois -- who
developed a two-hour review of 40 Elvis songs, linked by narrated film
scenes on giant television screens that trace the Presley story from birth
to death.

Fontaine, the leader of a Montreal rock band, won the audition for the lead
role in 1994. In civilian clothes, with his spiky red hair and boyish looks,
he sometimes jokes that he resembles Bart Simpson. But every night he
transforms himself into Elvis with a two-hour makeup session and a wig and
sideburns -- which he changes four times a night, along with 16 costume
changes.

Since 1995, the 39-year-old singer has performed as Elvis for an average of
200 nights a year, accompanied by six musicians, four singers and an
elaborately evolving stage set. The Quebec show is the only world-touring
review with the official blessing of the Presley estate, allowing it to use
television and film footage of the singer.

Travelling to China, however, was a tough challenge. Language is one
problem: The narration has to be translated into Chinese in scrolling text
on either side of the stage. A greater obstacle is the no-nonsense attitude
of China's theatre owners, who imposed strict rules that required him to
stay on stage and out of the audience. He opted to defy the rules, despite
threats of police action. "Come on and arrest me," he mused as he leaped
into the audience to shake hands and kiss the girls.

Chinese audiences are notoriously reserved and cautious, and Fontaine has
had to work hard to overcome the emotional barriers. "It's a little slower
here," he says. "It takes time to convince them. I talk to them, I tease
them, I ask them to sing. I make them an accomplice. I give them
permission." While most of his audiences are unaware of his Canadian
identity, Fontaine sees it as a natural advantage.

"Look at Cirque du Soleil -- they reinvented show business," he notes. "We
can do so much with so little. We have a big imagination. We're not too
tacky or too flashy like the Americans. We try to put more feeling into it
-- because we don't have the money. We have nothing to lose."

Despite his financial success, Fontaine might not be touring as Elvis much
longer. He is committed to another 46 shows in Paris next spring, but by
next fall he is considering a completely new show that would liberate him
from Elvis.

"I'm already working on it," he says. "I'm going to explore my musical
influences, from blues to soul and R&B music."

Elvis - If Only We'd Known.

Here is the cover of the book "Elvis - If Only We'd Known" by Sandra
Richardswhich is set for release September 2005.

From the publisher:

"In the spring of 1974, Elvis received some anonymous letters from a young
woman. The letters contained Bible verses, encouragement, and casual
conversation.

As the letters continued to arrive, Elvis became piqued with their author.
Elvis wanted to know who she was but she always signed her letters with
"Your friend, Sandie". Without a return address or last name he had no way
of knowing how to contact her. After a couple of months, Elvis received a
letter with Sandie's last name and address included on the envelope.
Immediately, Elvis decided to repay her for her letters of encouragement and
made plans to travel to her home town and surprise her with a visit from
him.

Though Elvis traveled thousands of miles and planned and paid for a
Christian concert to cover his presence-circumstances prevented their
meeting. Three and a half years later, Elvis still had this young woman in
his thoughts and wanted to reach her. At his last concert he sent out a
message that only she would understand--if she heard it. "

Debbie Wines of the Presley Commission passes away.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - The Liaison Office of the Presley Commission in the
United States has announced the sad passing of Debbie Wines. Debbie served
as the Executive Investigative Coordinator during the commission's tenure
from 1994 through 1997, and continued working on a consulting basis with the
Liaison Office to complete a book project that will be released by early
2006. The book will outline and review matters pertinent to the years of
1970 through 1977 and later, as a discussion and explanation for what
happened to Elvis Presley during those times. Actual incidents will be
offered to explain the events of August, 1977 as well. This office, and the
fans who knew her, join in our hope that Debbie's work over the years on
behalf of Elvis Presley will be revered as a compassionate and caring
testimonial, and will be respected the world over. Deb Wines will be missed
as we go forward to complete our mission. P. W. "Phil" Aitcheson Executive
Liaison/Author.

Presley promoters want help.

Paul and Joyce Fournier are huddled under an umbrella within yards of the
shotgun shack where Gladys Presley gave birth to the King. Reading about
Elvis on a brick wall, they moved from one printed recollection to another,
ignoring the rain and enjoying the lawn and flower gardens.

"We live in Michigan, but this is a part of my life and Paul's life," said
Joyce Fournier. "When I was in eighth and ninth grade, Elvis blossomed even
in small towns of central Indiana. So, here we are." An estimated 75,000
visitors a year flock to the Elvis Presley birthplace. For the Elvis Presley
Memorial Foundation, which oversees the site, the part-time upkeep by the
city isn't enough. Members have proposed that the grounds have full-time
attention to complement the recent improvements.

Henry Dodge, the foundation chairman, recently pointed out those
improvements to the Tupelo City Council. Among them, the life-size sculpture
by Michiel Van der Sommen of Elvis at 13, which stands on the grounds
adjacent to the house, and a $75,000 renovation of the house and revamping
of the gift shop, funded by the Tupelo Convention and Visitors' Bureau,
fans, corporate entities and other sources.

Now, Dodge and the foundation want to turn the birthplace site into a
world-class attraction, and that means a full-time maintenance man. The
proposal to the city asks for a $10,000 supplement to maintain the grounds,
but for the foundation to have its own maintenance employee. The city will
consider the request in December.

The idea of a full-time person suits parks director Don Lewis just fine. The
proposal will save the city $7,000 per year of the $17,000 it already
invests in the site, including the maintenance worker, who usually spends
30-plus hours a week at the birthplace. Sometimes, having two masters causes
confusion. For the foundation to take over maintenance, Lewis said, "would
be kind of a win-win situation." Museum director Dick Guyton agrees.

The site requires a lot of grooming. It needs new plantings twice a year,
Guyton said, and it's mowed twice a week in the summer and once a week in
the winter. The foundation doesn't want a full-time person to replace its
current maintenance man, Guyton said. It just wants someone it doesn't have
to share with the city. Send this link to a friend

Memphis Heritage Fund-Raising Calendar.

Memphis Heritage is proud to announce that this year's calendar is sponsored
in its entirety by Elvis Presley Enterprises. This unique 18-month edition
will focus on vintage Don Newman photographs of Memphis as they relate to
Elvis Presley and the Memphis he knew. The calendar offers a glimpse of
Elvis's Memphis, the footsteps of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, as so
eloquently photographed by Don Newman. The content is supplemented by
anecdotes and images of artifacts and documents from the Graceland Archive.

Peter Guralnick, noted music historian and author of critically acclaimed
Elvis Presley biographies including Last Train to Memphis, Careless Love and
Elvis Day by Day wrote a special introduction to this year's calendar.
(Reprinted at the end of this article.)

All paid MHI members will receive one free calendar and can purchase ten
(10) or more at a discount. This 18-month calendar sells for $10.00
(slightly more on the web to cover handling and mailing charges.) The
calendars will be available for purchase through the Memphis Heritage gift
shop at 509 S. Main or on line at www.memphisheritage.org. These Memphis
retailers also will be selling the calendars: Davis Kidd Booksellers,
Otherlands and Burke's Bookstore. All profit from the sale of these
calendars goes to aid Memphis Heritage in their ongoing historic
preservation efforts.

Following this same theme, in March 2005 Graceland will unveil an
extraordinary yearlong exhibit using several mural-size Don Newman
photographs in conjunction with Elvis artifacts and archival materials from
the vaults of their repository. This new exhibit in the Sincerely Elvis
Museum in Graceland Plaza will explore Elvis Presley's ties to the city he
loved and called home. Further details will be posted here in News on
Elvis.com closer to the date of the installation of the new exhibit.

Peter Guralnick Text in the Calendar:

Elvis Presley loved Memphis. His music is informed with its attitudes and
its rhythms. But, even more, it is infused with the sense of democratic
possibilities that Memphis nurtured in him. From slums to public housing to
private ownership in a single generation was the motto of Lauderdale Courts,
the Memphis public housing development in which he grew up -- and Elvis
clearly achieved that goal beyond even its most hopeful construction. But he
achieved something much more. With his music he broke down barriers, he
refused to acknowledge categories -- social, racial, or musical -- he
consciously sought to bring together all the worlds that he had experienced,
from Main Street to Beale Street, from Overton Park to East Trigg Baptist
Church.

More than anything else, Elvis Presley celebrated freedom, individuality,
and the triumph of the human spirit. That was the heart of rock n roll as he
defined it, an amalgamation of the rich musical traditions of ordinary
people, black and white, who lived side by side and imbued their music with
their hopes, their dreams, their unarticulated ambitions.

What had he missed most about Memphis? Elvis was asked after two years in
the army. "Everything, he said. I mean that -- everything." His music sprang
from Memphis, and with that music he helped redefine the American mainstream.
Peter Guralnick

Elvis Lives on in Bonn.

Elvis fans can be a determined bunch, and that's why much of the memorabilia
is behind glass.
Elvis is still a cultural icon - and he's back in the building

Forget Memphis, Las Vegas and Graceland -- Germany has always had a special
place in its heart for Elvis, and now, anyone wanting a personal glimpse of
the man behind the myth need go no further than Bonn.

Boasting exhibits ranging from glitzy catsuits and strands of hair to
first-edition records, the show that opened in Bonn Monday marks what would
have been Elvis' 70th birthday.

Taking a fond look at the two years that Presley spent in Germany as the
most famous GI in history, it pays tribute to one of the 20th century's
brightest stars and explores the reverberations of rock & roll in post-war
Germany.

The curators aren't taking any chances. Elvis fans can be a determined
bunch, and that's why much of the memorabilia is behind glass. "We don't
want anything ending up on Ebay," explained Jürgen Reiche, the director of
the House of History in Bonn.

The King was welcomed by crowds of screaming fans when he arrived in the
northern port of Bremerhaven to begin military service in October 1958.

How pop culture changed Germany

Photo:The King was welcomed by crowds of screaming fans when he arrived in
the northern port of Bremerhaven to begin military service in October 1958.

When Elvis Aaron Presley was drafted into the United States Army, he might
have left his fans back home so lonesome they could cry -- but Germany
couldn't wait to meet him.

"For many, Elvis opened a window on to the world," explained Reiche. "His
music and way of being gave them a touchstone -- after all, many young
Germans had grown up without fathers."

The King was welcomed by crowds of screaming fans when he arrived in the
northern port of Bremerhaven to begin military service in October 1958.

The fresh-faced 23-year-old private assigned to the US Third Armored
Division was to spend the next 18 months at Ray Barracks in the sleepy town
of Friedberg.

A corrupting influence

Under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, 1950s Germany was a staid and conservative
place. Not everybody was thrilled to be playing host to Elvis the Pelvis.
Local politicians alleged he was corrupting young people, while East Germany
dismissed his music and raunchy performances as anti-communist propaganda.

In March 1960, Germany bid "Auf Wiedersehen" to the King of Rock and Roll,
but not before he'd ensured himself a permanent place in Germany's
affections by recording a version of the famous folksong "Muß i denn zum
Städtele hinaus." It may have been incomprehensible to his US fans, but his
winsome rendition featured in the 1959 movie "GI Blues" meant he was claimed
as an honorary German.

From pink Cadillacs to Priscilla

As well as featuring clips from movies like "GI Blues" and "Jailhouse Rock",
the House of History show includes 300 items from Presley's stay in
Friedberg, including the military-issue bag he was carrying when he arrived,
the pink Cadillac he drove on days off and even the partially reconstructed
barracks hut where barbers gave him his regulation army haircut.

While Presley clearly had an electrifying effect on post-war Germany,
ushering in the country's lasting love-affair with American pop culture, the
exhibition also explores the role Germany played in Presley's life.

After all, it was here at that he met 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, his
future wife and mother of his only child, Lisa Marie. At one point during
his stay, he even moved his father Vernon and his grandmother Minnie Mae
into a house in Bad Nauheim, a small town near to the military camp where he
was stationed.

"It was rock 'n' roll and the PX shops with American products and a whole
new image for Friedberg -- very exciting," said deputy mayor of Friedberg,
Michael Keller.

The extent to which Elvis shook up mainstream culture cannot be
over-estimated, say the organizers. "He still preoccupies us, he's
well-known across the generations, and he brought about a sexual, musical
and social revolution," pointed out Jürgen Reiche.

In his opinion, post-Elvis Germany was never the same again. "He inspired
and motivated society," he explained. "He was an ambassador of a movement
that spoke to people who wanted change."

Rare Elvis Recordings Fail To Sell.

A batch of Elvis Presley's earliest RCA recordings from nearly 50 years ago
failed to meet the minimum asking price at auction on Monday, but lesser
keepsakes from the King of Rock 'n' Roll fetched more than $6,000.

The highlight of the two-day sale of show business memorabilia by
international auction house Bonhams and Butterfields was a private
collection of six reel-to-reel tape recordings of Presley valued at between
$30,000 and $50,000. The "pre-master" recordings of some of Presley's first
sessions at RCA included never-before-heard versions of such hits as "All
Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock" as well as studio banter among the singer,
members of his band and the engineer who recorded them, Thorne Nogar. It was
Nogar, working under contract for RCA, who ended up in possession of the
reels and whose family put them up for bid through Bonhams & Butterfields.
Nogar died in 1994. The tapes ended up being withdrawn from auction because
"they did not meet minimum price set by the owners," auction spokesman Erik
Simon told Reuters. He said the family did not want to divulge the reserve
price set for the collection or the range of bids received. Several other
pieces of Presley memorabilia did sell, including a signed photograph of the
singer ($2,115), an autographed movie banner from his 1968 film "Stay Away
Joe" ($3,525) and an autographed record sleeve ($470).

BMG already has everything which is featured on these tapes.

Elvis sightings abound at open casting call CBS

Elvis sightings abound at open casting call CBS miniseries will focus on
singer's early career.
It was the ultimate Elvis sighting.

Some 200 sneering, hip-swiveling Elvis Presley look-alikes in pompadours,
leather jackets, jumpsuits and blue suede shoes lined up for an open casting
call Wednesday outside CBS studios, hoping to play the king of rock 'n' roll
on TV.

Elvis impersonators from as far away as Buffalo, N.Y., Boise, Idaho, Toronto
and even Scotland turned Sound Stage 46 into a virtual international house
of Presley as they filed one by one before casting directors and producers
to perform a few bars of "Don't Be Cruel," "Jailhouse Rock" or "Hound Dog."

Most, including beefy, middle-aged candidates dressed as the Las Vegas-era
Elvis, were politely thanked for their efforts and sent on their way. A
lucky few -- all of them practitioners of the younger, thinner Presley look
-- were asked to stick around to read a few lines from a script.

One of them was Gino Monopoli, 29, a soft-spoken professional Elvis "tribute
artist" from Toronto, who like most of the contenders, spoke of Presley in
unbridled superlatives.

"Elvis was the epitome of cool. You could bring him out today, in 2004, and
he'd still rock," Monopoli said.

Monopoli acknowledged being caught a bit off-guard when he got a chance to
read for the part. "The southern accent was a little tough. I had about 10
minutes to get it down."

'Essence of Elvis'
Organizers said they were looking for someone who captures the "essence of
Elvis" and bears a close resemblance for an upcoming CBS miniseries about
his early career.

Director Jim Sadwith said he hoped to find a newcomer who possessed "the
sexuality, the vulnerability and the danger of Elvis .... We're not looking
for just an impersonator."

The program will trace Presley's rise to fame from age 18 to his triumphant
1968 comeback at age 33. No air date has been set. Presley died in 1977 at
age 42.

While all the candidates had to perform a Presley number for the tryout, the
winner won't actually sing in the miniseries. He'll lip-sync to Presley
recordings licensed especially for the program.

Lined up outside the studio was a colorful collection of Presley hopefuls
who came in all shapes and sizes. Tall, lanky Steve Gagnon, 44, a real
estate agent and Elvis moonlighter from Battle Creek, Michigan, said he got
his start performing as Presley for a charity and made it a part-time
career.

Dressed in black leather jacket and pants, he now tours with an entourage of
24 people, including band, backup singers and bodyguards. He left them all
back in Michigan. "It's going to be a little rough to pass for Elvis at 18,"
he said.

Chris Monte, 28, of Bryson City, North Carolina, stood out in a white jump
suite studded with sequins and the likeness of a peacock embroidered in blue
and turquoise. Part owner of a family lumber company, he brought along a
personal publicist.

Francesco Caputo, 44, from Long Island, was the very first in line at 1:30
a.m., more than eight hours before auditions began. But he made it clear he
had other interests besides TV.

"This Elvis is available to hot chicks," he joked.

Elvis Presley - The Legend Lives.

January 10, 2005 the Louisiana Hayride CD "The Legend Lives" re- release
date in Germany.

2004/11/20 Elvis Club Berlin / Ep.Gold.Com.

Now there was a song: Hit song was gift to a new bride.

Many hit songs were written under unusual circumstances, but Billy Swan's
1974 hit, "I Can Help," was written because of a wedding gift!

Swan was born in Cape Giradeau, Missouri in 1943 and grew up listening to
Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, and Lefty Frizzell-but his musical interests
later shifted to rock and roll.

He wrote his first song at age 16.

Swan commented, "I wrote a poem during English class one day. A couple of
years later, Bill Black showed it to Clyde McPhatter, who wasn't that
impressed with it, but agreed to record it anyway. The result was his "Lover
Please" record. I guess that record spoiled me. All of a sudden I figured
that show business was the easiest thing in the world." He then moved to
Memphis, Tennessee, to work as a songwriter.

According to Swan, "The first thing I did when I got to Memphis was to drive
by Elvis Presley's house. I had been there before and I had sneaked into his
yard and stole a towel I found as a souvenir. I had hoped it would have his
name on it but it didn't. Instead, the towel has "Roosevelt Hotel" on it.

But when I moved to Memphis, I went by his house again and talked to Travis
Smith, who was working the gate at Graceland. I told him I was writing songs
for Bill Black and that I was looking for a place to stay. He told me that
he had some room and that I could stay with him. So I did and I worked the
gate sometimes when he needed some time off."

Swan later moved to Nashville, Tenn., and worked as a janitor at Columbia
Studios. When he gave up that job, they gave it to another aspiring
songwriter named Kris Kristofferson.

When Kristofferson organized a band, he invited Swan to join. The band
toured the world with Kristofferson and when the group finally made it back
to Nashville, Billy joined Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jew Boys, playing
rhythm guitar and singing harmony.

It was about that time that he met a young lady named Marlu and they were
married shortly thereafter.

Billy commented, "Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge gave me a little RMI
organ for a wedding gift. My wife had one of those electric drum machines. I
was sitting in the living room playing around with my new organ and that
drum machine. I started playing some chords and the lyrics to "I Can Help"
just came pouring out. I did it in two takes. I didn't even overdub the
vocals. I just stood up-played my new organ and sang."

"I Can Help" entered the country music charts October 12th, 1974 and made if
to the top slot, where it stayed for two weeks. It was on the country charts
for 14 weeks and was the first of 16 songs that he placed on the country
lists between 1974 and 1987. "I Can Help" was also pop music's number one
song the week of November 23rd, 1974.

Rare Elvis Presley Recordings Go Up for Auction.

Some of Elvis Presley's first RCA recordings from nearly 50 years ago,
including never-before-heard takes of "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock,"
will be put up for bid on Sunday at an auction of show business memorabilia.

The six unedited reel-to-reel tapes -- "pre-master" originals from the
private collection of the studio engineer who recorded them, are valued at
between $30,000 and $50,000, according to international auction house
Bonhams & Butterfields.

Highlights will be played on Saturday for potential bidders at the Bonhams
gallery in Los Angeles, marking their first public exhibition, auction
spokesman Erik Simon told Reuters.

The more than two hours of audio consist of 57 musical tracks, including
multiple takes of songs Presley performed in the studio, as well as casual
banter between Presley, members of his band and the engineer, Thorne Nogar.

It was Nogar, working under contract for RCA at Radio Recorders studios in
Los Angeles, who ended up in possession of the reels and whose family has
put them up for bid through Bonhams & Butterfields.

"We've had them for a lot of years, and I think the people should enjoy
them," said Nogar's son, Stephen, 57, a retired trucker who now resides in
Kentucky. "And frankly, we could use the money."

Because they do not hold the underlying copyright to Presley's music, Nogar
said his family may sell the physical recordings to another party for
"personal enjoyment" only. The tapes cannot be copied for commercial gain,
he said.

The tapes were made from September 1956 through September 1957 during the
singer's initial sessions at RCA, which had bought out Presley's contract
from Sun Records for $35,000.

Nogar, who died in 1994 at age 72, made a habit of rolling two tapes
simultaneously as he recorded Presley so he would have a backup of the
sessions in case RCA producers changed their minds about which version of a
song they preferred after the master was cut. It was the backup that Nogar
kept.

"He called them his ass-saver tapes," his son said, adding that the quality
is noticeably crisper than even a new vinyl record, which is four
"generations" removed from sound made in the studio.

"You ought to hear a first-generation tape. It's so much fresher," Nogar
said. When bidders here the playback on Saturday, he said, "They're going to
find out what a 22-year-old Elvis sounds like."

The recordings include such early Presley hits as "Jailhouse Rock" and "All
Shook Up," all the material he recorded for his original Christmas album and
a batch of religious tunes. Stephen Nogar said his personal favorite is a
ballad titled "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You."

The Presley tapes are part of a larger auction being held by Bonhams, which
also will include the original suits worn by the Beatles on their first
album cover, a guitar owned by rock legend Jimi Hendrix, rare Disney
animation celluloids and a collection of more than 300 vintage movie
posters.

Note :

Andylon Lensen talked to Stephen Nogar a couple times a few months ago to
negoniate and
discussed this matter with Ernst Jorgensen who met Stephan Nogar and his
sister many years ago about this issue in person.

Enst claimed to Andylon he checked all the tapes and 1st of all they were
ALL saved - Mono copies and 2nd of all, the recordings Stephan Nogar has in
his possesion are also original in the vaullts of RCA.

Exhibition Traces The Elvis Years As A GI In Germany.

The two years that Elvis Presley spent in Germany as the most famous GI in
history are the subject of a new exhibition opening in Germany on Sunday.

The organisers are putting on show 300 items from Presley's stay in
Friedberg, which left the sleepy town "All Shook Up", to quote one of the
King's best-known songs.

Fans can see the military-issue bag Elvis was carrying when he arrived in
the northern port of Bremerhaven in 1958 to begin his military service, the
partially reconstructed barracks hut where he had his regulation army
haircut, or the pink Cadillac he drove on days off.

The exhibition also highlights that Germany played an important role in
Presley's life -- it was there that he met Priscilla, his future wife and
the mother of his only child, Lisa Marie.

Presley even moved his father and his grandmother into a house in Bad
Neuheim, a small town near to the military camp where he was stationed.

The deputy mayor of Friedberg, Michael Keller, recalled earlier this year
how Presley's arrival electrified the locals.

"It was rock 'n' roll and the PX shops with American products and a whole
new image for Friedberg -- very exciting," he said.

Brando's son weds Elvis' "daughter" .

Marlon Brando's son Christian has married a woman who claims to be Elvis
Presley's daughter. Christian, 46, exchanged nuptials with 48-year-old
artist Deborah Presley on 16 October 2004 at Las Vegas' Little White Chapel.

Deborah claims she is an illegitimate daughter of the late rocker, but in
1988 a judge ruled that her claims have no legal merit. Christian was
released from jail in 1996, after serving nearly half of a 10 year sentence
for the fatal shooting of his half sister's lover in 1990.

Deborah tells PEOPLE magazine that she saw a picture of Christian in 1987
and "loved him from that moment".

The objective of the project is to produce a full-size, bipedal humanoid
robot. The humanoid will have human dimensions and weight. At present the
plan is to build the robot around a plastic human skeleton. The robot will
be controlled by a hierarchy of evolutionary systems. A 60 cm tall prototype
named ELVIS has been built. The objective of ELVIS is to try various
hypotheses regarding hardware and control software. We are motivated by a
strong belief in the future importance of humanoid robotics for industry,
research and society in general.

Project goals:
To create a mechanical humanoid that:
is autonomous
can walk
has vision assisted orientation
can communicate verbally
shows more advanced behaviours, such as walking to an electric outlet to
recharge its batteries
We strive towards creating an individual who is able to adapt to and take
advantage of its environment to reach its own purposes.
Our short term goal is to get the robot to balance on two legs, and then
make it walk.

Purpose:

To see what is possible to do today

Research areas:

AI
Robotics
Computer vision
Audio computer communication
Human interfaces for robots

Bob Dylan Tops Greatest-song List.

The song "Like a Rolling Stone," Bob Dylan's scornful, ironic ode to a
spoiled woman's reversal of fortune, was named the greatest rock 'n' roll
song of all time Wednesday by Rolling Stone magazine.

"No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the
commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all time," wrote
Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke in an article accompanying the
magazine's list of the top 500 rock songs of all time.

The list, published in a special edition out Friday, was compiled by a panel
of recording artists, producers, label executives, critics and songwriters.
Among them were singer Art Garfunkel, Motown Records founder Berry Gordy,
heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, vocalist Joni Mitchell and even Dylan's rock
star son, Jakob.

Ranked No. 2 on the magazine's roster of greatest rock songs of all time was
the Rolling Stones' 1965 hit "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," followed by
John Lennon's utopian ballad "Imagine," Marvin Gaye's languid soul classic
"What's Going On" and Aretha Franklin's empowerment anthem "Respect."

Rounding out the top 10 were "Good Vibrations" from the Beach Boys; Chuck
Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"; the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and Ray Charles' seminal
soul record "What'd I Say."

The highest-charting song on the list from the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis
Presley, was his 1956 hit "Hound Dog" at No. 19.

The Beatles, not surprisingly, notched the most songs on the list, with 22
entries. They were trailed by archrivals the Rolling Stones, who tallied 13
in all. A dozen of Dylan's songs made the cut.

In a similar list published in 1989, the magazine named the Stones'
"Satisfaction" as the best single of the past 25 years, with Dylan's "Like a
Rolling Stone" placed at No. 2 -- a reversal of the latest ranking.

UK Singles Box Details.

Now that the trade have been informed, we can reveal that each CD single
will be pressed on black plastic with grooves to mimic the original 45.
Peacock Design has painstakingly taken the artwork from original sources,
then cleaned them up for these re-issues. As well as the original A side,
there will be the B-side recording, plus a third track which will be either
an alternate take or a linked track.

The sales bar-code will be a peel-off so that once removed it will reveal an
exact replica to the original release. Each CD will be packaged in a repro
of the original British bag, which in turn will slip inside a reproduction
of the original American picture sleeve. This format will be extended to the
10" vinyl versions. Both formats will be available from all retailers,
unlike the 10" "That's All Right" which was only available through HMV.

The first single will be Jailhouse Rock/Treat Me Nice which will qualify for
a chart position and will be released on 3rd January. At the same time All
Shook Up will be released also on both formats, but as a chart-ineligible
package, incorporating the collector box big enough to store the full
collection of singles. The boxes will come in CD and 10" size.

It is important to note that each single will be deleted on its day of
release. The full schedule of releases will be shipped exclusively to every
member of the official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain within a
week, and the fan club will be offering members both collector boxes with
All Shook Up as it will not qualify for a chart position, and members will
be encouraged to buy all future releases from their local High Street store
to ensure a chart placing for all the singles. "The music industry has
applauded this creative approach to single releases and expects other majors
to do like-minded inventive approaches in an attempt to stem the declining
singles market, and we, as Elvis' British Fan Club, are proud and excited to
be involved in this project!" adds Todd Slaughter.

There will be fan club promotions to support these releases, and various
celebrities will talk-up the series on radio and television. The Saga Radio
network will be broadcasting a special Elvis' 70th birthday show
spearheading these releases at 6.00pm on Saturday 8th January hosted by Todd
Slaughter and station director Ron Coles.

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis.

The king of rock and sole - Elvis - is alive and well, earning his living
serving fish and chips. Elvis Morton, who works at The Cliffs restaurant in
Cliff Street, Cheddar, says he is used to customers singing the famous lyric
from Kirsty
MacColl's 1980s hit. 'There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's
Elvis' is regularly sung by customers. But the 30-year-old, who started work
at The Cliffs three months ago, is more at home with battering fish than
belting out hits. Elvis, of Chichester Way, Worle, said: "A lot of customers
have been known to sing me the song and I've got used to it now. "In fact,
on Elvis Presley's birthday many of the customers were thoughtful enough to
bring in cards for me. "My mum is a big fan of Elvis and decided to name me
after him." Thanks to Just For Fun, Meadow Street, Weston, for the props
used in the picture.

Work is woman's burning love.

Recently laid off because of company downsizing, clutching a glowing letter
of recommendation in her hand, Olive Gonzales of Oakland finds herself
venturing forth into the job market. She's not sure what she'll do. She's
got a solid work history and her whole life ahead of her. After all, she's
only 85. Not retired, mind you. Not fired, by a long shot. But laid off. She
lives in

a meticulously kept apartment in Oakland's Laurel district, with an Elvis
collection (that borders on a shrine) in her bedroom. "So her big story is
that she used to change my diapers," a friend said, beaming at his lifelong
friend when he came to visit her at her home on Friday -- and to bring her
an Elvis calendar. Olive started working at a jewelry store in Oakland in
the 1950s, raising her five kids all alone on $1 an hour. She was never
sick. The only time she took off was for holidays, vacation and one time for
surgery. Even then she couldn't stand to be away from work, eager to get
back to her station with its Elvis decorations and a little radio to listen
to. Knowing her love of Elvis Presley (she's been to Graceland three times
since she turned 82), her now ex-boss, Marc Foss brought in an Elvis
impersonator just for Gonzales at last year's Christmas party. This
particular Elvis was 6-foot-4. Gonzales is barely 4-foot-10. So he put her
on his lap and sang to her. "I have a videotape of it, for blackmail," Foss
said. So what's in the future for Olive? Wal-Mart? More time with her 11
grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren? Maybe a fourth trip to Graceland?

Does Elvis matter: Elvis and the Petersons.

An Elvis scholar introduced me to the idea that Elvis doesn't matter. What
people think about Elvis matters.

To some, the scholar explained, Elvis is an icon. To others, he is a
laughingstock. To Rolling Stone, an important interracial artist. To Public
Enemy, a racist. A has-been. A stamp. Et cetera.

The lessons lie in the prism of different group and cultural beliefs about
Elvis. For Elvis, you can substitute the Scott and Laci Peterson case. On
the surface, the attraction of the case was simple, the real-life mystery
surrounding a horrible crime grinding toward a solution in the public eye.
On that score, certainty is impossible, but probably justice was done, said
John Phillips, a sociologist at University of the Pacific.

Most wrongly convicted defendants are victims of prosecutorial misconduct or
poor defense, said Phillips. His specialty is criminology. But prosecutors
played it straight. Scott Peterson hired the best defense. So probably, "The
evidence was solid enough to convince any jury any time," Phillips opined.

As for the circumstantial case, "Most evidence is circumstantial," Phillips
pointed out. "Who commits serious crimes in front of a witness?" As to why
the Peterson case became a national obsession, the editor of the National
Enquirer told us in 2003 the case became a national fixation for two
reasons: mystery and emotion. The mystery was Laci's disappearance. Then the
whodunit. The emotion was her pretty smile, glowing pregnancy, Christmas.
Mystery and emotion. Add media and stir. The emotion was not all outrage. I
think Americans spot-check their criminal-justice system through celebrity
trials. Is the system equal to controlling chaos in the suburbs? Details at 11.

A woman called to say the guilty verdict illustrates the wisdom of paying
child support. I had to request an explanation. Laci learned of Scott's
affair, the woman explained. She was going to divorce him. Fearing he would
be taken to the cleaners, Scott Peterson murdered her. Now he's convicted.
How much better if he'd just sent the checks.

From views such as hers, the Elvisness of the Scott and Laci case can be
inferred. Another man called to say he just couldn't believe a husband could
do such a thing. He meant a white, married, white-collar suburbanite.
Suburban illusions are proof the system works, at least in the suburbs. Or
suburbanites couldn't kid themselves like they do. Legislatively, our
leaders saw the need to pass the "Laci and Conner Law" making it a separate
crime to kill a fetus. Such legislation should be left to the states,
Phillips said. "I consider that (law) political exploitation. P

ersonally, I think using a tragedy as a hook for some policy that can't
stand on its own is immoral." Many believe the law will affect the fight
over abortion. All this from one murder in Modesto. Arguably of no
importance beyond one Valley town. "For many, many months, I've been able to
look up at TVs in bars, restaurants, the gym, etc. -- and when the Peterson
trial was on, I knew right away that there was no actual news to report,"
blogged Instapundit. "Now I've lost that valuable tool."

BLUEGRASS VERSION OF 'VIVA LAS VEGAS' ISSUED

Rounder releases The Grascals' single 'Viva Las Vegas' this week.

NASHVILLE, TN. (Rounder Records) - Fans of Rounder Records' newest bluegrass
signing, The Grascals, are now able to purchase their single, 'Viva Las
Vegas.' The bluegrass version of the Elvis Presley classic, performed as a
duet with the legendary Dolly Parton, is available in stores on a commercial
single that also includes 'Me and John and Paul' from the group's
forthcoming self-titled Rounder debut, and an instrumental called 'Sail Away
Ladies.'
Until this week, the single was only available at concerts on Parton's
Hello, I'm Dolly tour, which The Grascals are opening. At each show the
group performs a hard-driving, 30-minute set of bluegrass music, then forms
part of the backing band for Parton. She performs 'Viva Las Vegas' with them
during her set. Following the show, The Grascals meet fans and sign
autographs, with hundreds of people joining the line each night. At some of
the early shows on the tour, the band sold out of merchandise, unprepared
for the overwhelming response they received.

'We realize that this is an opportunity so few new artists have, getting to
open for Dolly and be seen and heard by her fans,' said Jamie Johnson,
guitarist and vocalist for the group. 'And we're just thrilled by the
response we've seen so far.'

The Grascals are: Terry Eldredge on lead vocals and guitar, Jimmy Mattingly
on fiddle, David Talbot on banjo and vocals, Jamie Johnson on guitar and
vocals, Danny Roberts on mandolin and Terry Smith on bass. While the group
was officially formed within the last year, its members have had years of
experience playing for a 'Who's Who' of country and bluegrass greats,
including Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Larry Cordle & Lonesome
Standard Time and The Osborne Brothers.
The Grascals' self-titled debut on Rounder Records will be released on
February 8, 2005.

The Grascals have signed with CAA for bookings. Their responsible agent is
Stan Barnett. They have also entered an exclusive publicity agreement with
Karen Byrd Public Relations.

Founded in 1970, Rounder Records is America 's premier independent label.
Rounder and its Zoe, Heartbeat, Philo and Bullseye Blues imprints have a
catalog of over 3000 albums, representing a wide variety of folk, roots,
rock, blues, and reggae music.

Elvis Presley Blue Christmas Cabernet Sauvignon.

Here is a press release on the "Elvis Presley Blue Christmas Cabernet
Sauvignon" wine:

Holiday celebrations will rock this year with the introduction of Elvis
Presley(R) Graceland(R) Cellars' Blue Christmas(TM) 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon.
As a special edition limited to sales during the holidays, only 4000 cases
of Blue Christmas Napa Valley Cabernet were produced to commemorate Elvis'
most popular Christmas song. The wine sells for a suggested retail price of
$16.99-17.99 and is available at retail outlets in 36 states through 42
distributors.

"Blue Christmas Cabernet makes a great holiday gift," said Scott Cahill, CEO
of Signature Wines. "Whether you bring it to a holiday party or use it to
brighten-up your dinner table, Blue Christmas Cab will put people in a
festive mood."

Tasting Notes

Lush and ripe with black currant, plums, and black cherry, Blue Christmas
2002 Cabernet Sauvignon has a wonderful core of fruit. It is well balanced
with complex tannins and yearlong oak aging. A light mineral component
complements the dark fruits, leather, vanilla and char. Age-worthy if
choosing to lay it down through 2010, it also drinks well now.

Chasing Elvis.

Out now is a new fictional book featuring "Elvis".

The storyline:

In 1982 an Elvis impersonator clumsily robs a bank, and incredibly all of
the evidence points to the supposedly deceased Elvis as being the robber. A
detective hot on the trail of the robber is convinced that he is chasing
Elvis, but is killed in an accidental car crash near Moscow, Tennessee,
leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. Twenty years later, the daughter is
a tabloid reporter for Weird Magazine, a shameless, check-out counter rag.
She is assigned to cover an Elvis Festival in Moscow, discovers her father's
notes, and quickly stumbles onto the Elvis-robber's trail. What she
discovers in rural Tennessee just may be the news story of the young
century.

The book is available through the publisiher, Invisible College Press at

Essential Elvis, the UK's official Elvis Presley magazine has teamed up with BMG to promote a special set of single releases.

To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's Birth, January 8th 2005 RCA/SONY BMG are embarking on the most ambitious single release campaign in the history of the UK Record Industry. All of the Kings 18 UK #1 singles will be re-released over 17 consecutive weeks beginning on January 3rd '05 and ending on April 25th '05. Each classic single will be released in a Limited Edition numbered CD and 10" format, which will be beautifully packaged using original artwork.

Never before has an artists contribution to popular music been celebrated in such a groundbreaking way but as we know... there has never been an artist like Elvis Presley.

'All Shook Up' was Elvis' first UK #1 single and will be the first re-release on 3rd January 2005. Both CD and 10" of 'All Shook Up' will be launched in a beautifully designed, foil embossed CD and 10" box which can then be used to house the other 17 UK # 1's.

Due to UK chart regulations on packaging for singles, the 'All Shook Up' release/Box set will not be eligible for inclusion in the UK singles chart, therefore we will also be re-releasing Elvis' second UK #1 single 'Jailhouse Rock' on the same day.

Each single released in this momentous campaign will be packaged as following:

CD Single

* Each CD will be released in 'mini-vinyl' replica card sleeves with an outer and inner bag. The outer bag features the original U.S. picture artwork and the inner bag replicates a generic UK RCAingle sleeve from the time of the original release.

* The artwork for the CD disc will replicate the original 7" vinyl release including authentic vinyl label artwork.

* Rather than have the standard silver finish on the 'playing' side of the disc, each CD rear will have a black finish, again to replicate the look of a vinyl release.

* Each CD will be lmited and individually numbered.

10" Vinyl

* Each 10" vinyl release will be packaged in the original RCA generic bag.

* The 10" label will replicate the original 7" label artwork.

" Each 10" will be limited and individually numbered.

Advertising and PR

A project of this magnitude, celebrating a hugely important Anniversary in the Elvis calendar, will generate huge media interest. Noble PR Ltd., responsible for the phenomenal PR Campaign which surrounded The Top 3 release of 'That's All Right' in June 2004, will be managing this project throughout its four month run.

The PR Campaign will be backed with press ads in specialist music publications and national newspapers - details TBC.

Calendar Boys.

Singer Robbie Williams is Britain's calendar stud based on sales figures so
far. Beckham's popularity is on the wane - he has slipped from number two to
this year's five. It is the first time the England captain has been knocked
out of the top three in five years. World Cup rugby hero Jonny Wilkinson is
one of the most popular male hunks in third place. Robbie Williams has
knocked Sir Cliff Richard, last year's number one, into second place in the
chart. Sir Cliff has been in the top three for 25 years. "Crooner" (as they
put it) Elvis Presley is one above Beckham at number four.

A spokeswoman for Europe's largest official calendar firm Danilo said: "It's
early days yet.
"The 2005 calendars haven't been in the shops that long and David Beckham
still has room to manoeuvre. "But his position is a surprise."

The King Is Dead.

After a heavy degree of complications, Katco was advised today that copies
of "The King Is Dead" should be in the hands of Katco within the next week
and ready to be shipped to customers by November 15th, 2004. Here is the new
cover.

Originally, it was anticipated that the book would be available in August in
time for the anniversary. Delays in finishing the composition and layout of
the book necessitated a delay at that time. Since then, Katco has been
wrestling with various other problems which center on punctuation,
hyphenation, and other issues that have lead to many imperfections within
the body of the text of the book."

Photo:One man - Robert Kendall--was charged with the task of executing the
Presley funeral. And, this funeral would be unlike any other of his career.

Discussions are now underway for Robert Holton's book, The King Is Dead, to
be made into a DVD documentary running for around 48-52 minutes. Katco Media
publisher, Ryan Katzenbach said: "At that length of time, we could
definitely attract the attention of a network or cable channel and possibly
sell the rights. It would be our interests in telling this story on a much
larger scale than that of just distributing a DVD." Release of the DVD is
likely to be at least a year away.

Children's letter to President Eisenhower about Elvis on display

General Dwight d. Eisenhower meeting with parptroopers
of the 101st Airborne Division, June 5, 1944, Newbury England.

Children have left their mark on American democracy over the years with
pens, pencils and crayons, writing to the White House with complaints,
suggestions, or opinions on such vital issues as whether Elvis Presley
should get a haircut when he joined the Army. The White House alone receives
as many as 400,000 a month and its archives of letters number in the
millions. A new exhibit has just opened at the US National Archives
showcasing 30 of the letters. Among the letters in the exhibit: one from
three Montana girls to President Dwight Eisenhower after Presley was drafted
in 1958, pleading, ``If you cut his side burns off we will just die!''.

Actor Woody Harrelson shows some Elvis action.

Oscar nominated actor Woody Harrelson gave Elvis some nice praise on the NBC
Jay Leno show last night. Harrelson stated that he had to thank Elvis for
his becoming an actor and acknowledged that he was a big Elvis fan. Sounding
very similar to an Elvis film, Harrelson explained that his break into
acting was when he spontaneously performed Jailhouse Rock for friends in his
school library. He was spotted by the High School's drama teacher & never
looked back! Harrelson also showed some great hip-swinging action when he
performed an excellent Jailhouse Rock for Jay Leno's appreciative audience

Elvis Sightings Abound at LA Open Casting Call.

It was the ultimate Elvis sighting. Some 200 sneering, hip-swiveling Elvis
Presley look-alikes in pompadours, leather jackets, jumpsuits and blue suede
shoes lined up for an open casting call on Wednesday outside CBS studios,
hoping to play the king of rock 'n' roll on TV.

Elvis impersonators from as far away as Buffalo, N.Y., Boise, Idaho, Toronto
and even Scotland turned Sound Stage 46 into a virtual international house
of Presley as they filed one by one before casting directors and producers
to perform a few bars of "Don't Be Cruel," "Jailhouse Rock" or "Hound Dog."

Most, including beefy, middle-aged candidates dressed as the Las Vegas-era
Elvis, were politely thanked for their efforts and sent on their way. A
lucky few -- all of them practitioners of the younger, thinner Presley look
-- were asked to stick around to read a few lines from a script.

One of them was Gino Monopoli, 29, a soft-spoken professional Elvis "tribute
artist" from Toronto, who like most of the contenders, spoke of Presley in
unbridled superlatives. "Elvis was the epitome of cool. You could bring him
out today, in 2004, and he'd still rock," Monopoli said. Monopoli
acknowledged being caught a bit off-guard when he got a chance to read for
the part. "The southern accent was a little tough. I had about 10 minutes to
get it down."

Organizers said they were looking for someone who captures the "essence of
Elvis" and bears a close resemblance for an upcoming CBS miniseries about
his early career. Director Jim Sadwith said he hoped to find a newcomer who
possessed "the sexuality, the vulnerability and the danger of Elvis ....
We're not looking for just an impersonator." The program will trace
Presley's rise to fame from age 18 to his triumphant 1968 comeback at age
33. No air date has been set. Presley died in 1977 at age 42.

While all the candidates had to perform a Presley number for the tryout, the
winner won't actually sing in the miniseries. He'll lip-sync to Presley
recordings licensed especially for the program. Lined up outside the studio
was a colorful collection of Presley hopefuls who came in all shapes and
sizes. Tall, lanky Steve Gagnon, 44, a real estate agent and Elvis
moonlighter from Battle Creek, Michigan, said he got his start performing as
Presley for a charity and made it a part-time career.

Dressed in black leather jacket and pants, he now tours with an entourage of
24 people, including band, backup singers and bodyguards. He left them all
back in Michigan. "It's going to be a little rough to pass for Elvis at 18,"
he said. Chris Monte, 28, of Bryson City, North Carolina, stood out in a
white jump suite studded with sequins and the likeness of a peacock
embroidered in blue and turquoise. Part owner of a family lumber company, he
brought along a personal publicist. Francesco Caputo, 44, from Long Island,
was the very first in line at 1:30 a.m., more than eight hours before
auditions began. But he made it clear he had other interests besides TV.
"This Elvis is available to hot chicks," he joked.

Larry Geller And Jordanaires In The Netherlands?

Larry Geller will be in The Netherlands to promote his book during an Elvis

We asked Andylon Lensen if this is correct on The Jordanaires?

Larry Geller is correct but The Jordanaires is not correct.

I guess one of the two promotors has made a misstake by mentioning the wrong

Christmas At Graceland.

As tradition dictates, Christmas at Graceland officially begins the Friday
evening after Thanksgiving. At approximately 5:45 PM on Friday, November
26th, in a ceremony in Graceland Plaza, EPE officials and the Jennings
Osborne family will "throw the switch" on Elvis Presley's wonderful
traditional Graceland Mansion front-lawn holiday displays and an
Osborne-donated lighting display in Graceland Plaza across the street.
Adding to this great evening of family fun will be an appearance by Santa
Claus and Bamboo, the Panda mascot from The Memphis Zoo. Elvis fans, media
and the public at large are invited.

This year, new additions are being made to the plaza lighting display first
donated by the Osbornes in 1999. Many parts of an Osborne lighting
exhibition previously located in the mansion's back yard are being relocated
to Graceland Plaza to make that area more spectacular than ever and enable
more people to experience those former backyard display components at night.
All holiday lighting and decorations will remain in place through The Elvis
Presley Birthday Celebration in January. The lights will be on every night
through January 9th.

A New Elvis Book Called The Memphis Lullaby

The Memphis Lullaby play paints an intimate portrait of the King in his own words - transcribed from recordings of radio interviews, press conferences, concerts, his handwritten notes and remembered conversations with his friend Larry Geller.

It is 10 August 1977, Elvis Presley sits in his living room at Graceland. He has decided it is time to write his memoirs and intends to call the book 'Through My Eyes'. He reflects on his life, from humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi, through his rise to stardom and how he became the man the world called 'The King.' The story imagines Elvis as he reminisces recalls anecdotes and touches the truth in his own words about the man, the myths and the music. As we walk with Elvis on his nostalgic journey we glimpse the man behind the King while commemorating his life and career.

"The Memphis Lullaby" tells the story of Elvis Presley's life in his own words.

‘Linda Ann thanks for allowing me to read your impressive manuscript, “The Memphis lullaby.” I was very touched reading it. I feel that Elvis fans and people everywhere will appreciate and enjoy it as much as I did. “The Memphis lullaby” gives an insight into Elvis’ life in a beautiful way.’

Larry Geller, Elvis friend, hairstylist and Spiritual advisor.

‘Congratulations! You have done a magnificent job with this and I am VERY proud of you! “The Memphis Lullaby” provides a fresh and unique view of the Elvis Presley story. It is certain to be a favourite among Presley fans and Pop Culture lovers alike. A Brilliant work, Linda Ann!’

Jerry Osborne, Author and Publisher.

‘As a monologue by Elvis himself the play gives a very different take on the whole Presley legend when compared to the many other forms that have been presented over the past 27 years e.g. books, television, and documentaries. ‘The idea of Elvis's story in the first person is a very good one. I like how you have combined actual quotes from the 1950's and 1970's, giving them a then-contemporary touch. You have also effectively interspersed other quotes giving it an impression of 1977 quotation. It is obvious that you have spent quite some time on this project.’

Gerry McLafferty, President of the Elvis Presley Film Society.

‘At last a book and a play from a genuine Elvis fan that I know comes from the heart of the author. “The Memphis Lullaby” is a very intelligent, unique and thoughtful interpretation which uses colour, objectivity and compassion to illustrate the man, the myths and the music, the man behind the King. The play has been extensively researched and by using Elvis quotes has captured the beauty, honesty and grace of the man. Any written art can be thought provoking or inspiring, this play gives a chance to explore and understand Elvis, even perhaps to change people’s minds about things. If Elvis Presley were alive today he would have endorsed this book and been proud of this work because it tells his story in his own words for the first time. Elvis’ worst fear was that he would be forgotten by everyone. By giving us the “Memphis Lullaby” Elvis will be remembered with respect and will never be forgotten.’Paul Downie P.R.

Museum Salutes Loews Movie-Theater Chain.

Elvis Presley was once fired as an usher at a Loews movie theater for
punching out another usher, the story goes. By the time he returned years
later, his face graced the silver screen. Barbra Streisand (news) is
believed to have seen her first movies at a Loews theater in Brooklyn. And
in recent years, actor Matt Damon (news) was a Loews usher.
Those are some of the tales livening up the centennial of one of the world's
oldest movie theater chains, started by Marcus Loew, born to poor Jewish
immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side. On Nov. 14, 1904, he co-founded
the company that opened the first theaters in Cincinnati and New York, and
now runs 198 theaters with 2,193 screens in the United States, Mexico, Spain
and South Korea (news - web sites).
On Wednesday, the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens is launching
its celebration of the Loews centennial with an exhibit. And Manhattan's
Jewish Museum is hosting a panel including actor Elliot Gould in a Nov. 18
discussion of movies and media, inspired by its exhibit last year titled
"Entertaining America: Jews, Movies, and Broadcasting."

"Jews were a persecuted minority, and they were pushed to accomplish in
order to survive," says Gould, 66, a native New Yorker whose grandparents
were Jewish immigrants.

"With God directing - or maybe Marcus Loew - Jews in America developed a
culture, whether it was in movies, writing, law or science," says Gould,
speaking by telephone from his Los Angeles home. Loew, born in 1870, started
hawking oranges and newspapers at the age of 6, sleeping in the streets to
be first when customers awoke.

He turned penny arcades in Cincinnati and New York into America's first
movie theaters, and quickly became a theater mogul. But he never forgot his
childhood struggles, building one new theater on the site of his childhood
tenement, which he had torn down. By the 1920s, Loew-run theaters warmed up
spectators with ballerinas, singers and vaudeville performers, plus
newsreels - before the organ- or orchestra-accompanied silent film. He
engineered a series of business mergers that resulted in the creation of the
MGM studios, headed by Louis B. Mayer.

"Without Marcus Loew," said film historian Ross Melnick, "MGM would never
have been formed, and films like `Singin' in the Rain' and `The Wizard of
Oz' might never have been made."

The centennial display at the Moving Image museum tracks the evolution of
movie houses through archival film footage of premieres, vintage photos and
other objects from film history.

In one Elvis photo, "The King" returns to the Loews State Theatre in Memphis
where he worked as an usher in 1952. According to theater lore, he was fired
after five weeks on the job. He apparently punched a fellow usher who,
prompted by jealousy, had told the manager Elvis was getting free candy from
a young woman at the concession stand who was fond of the handsome singer.
Having watched America's love affair with the movies over the decades, Gould
said the biggest change is that "the popcorn costs more." But for one day,
Tuesday, Loews is rolling back popcorn prices nationwide - to $1 for a
medium size.

Man Held in Death of Elvis the Alligator.
A fisherman was cited for killing an alligator nicknamed "Elvis" who lived
in a golf course community's pond. The man said he stabbed the reptile in
self-defense. Rick Allen Burns, 49, faces up to 60 days in jail and a fine
if convicted on a misdemeanor charge of possession of an alligator without a
permit. Five-foot-long Elvis was found dying in October with a hunting knife
in its head. A $1,000 reward for information was posted and an anonymous tip
led to Burns, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said
Friday. Residents said Elvis first showed up at their pond about 18 months
ago, and had never hurt anyone - or ducks living nearby.

Stored Chapel Moves To New Site.

In its almost 50 years of existence, the chapel at Apacheland Movie Ranch
has survived two fires and an explosion during a film shoot that blew off
its steeple. Now, groups in Gold Canyon and Apache Junction want to make
sure the Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel survives to remind future generations
of Apacheland's place in movie history.

The chapel from the famous Western film set has been donated to the
Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum. It will be moved from the ranch,
at 4369 S. Kings Ranch Road in Gold Canyon, and reconstructed on the museum
grounds, said George Johnston, president of the Superstition Mountains
Historical Society.

The chapel survived a fire earlier this year that destroyed most of the
buildings at Apacheland. It also escaped one in 1969 that destroyed the
movie studios at the ranch.

They were rebuilt by the community in 10 weeks. "We think Elvis has been
watching out for it," Johnston said. Johnston said it was during filming for
Presley's 1969 movie "Charro!" that the chapel's steeple was blown off in an
explosion. It was later repaired, he said.

Owner Sue Birmingham decided not to rebuild the ranch after the latest fire
in February, and the property is being sold to a housing developer, she
said. Estimates put the cost of moving and restoring the chapel and barn at
about $35,000, Birmingham said.

On Sunday, the Philanthropic Ladies of Gold Canyon Red Hat Society is having
cocktails, dinner and dancing at the ranch, with proceeds going to the
chapel's moving fund. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at the
Superstition Mountains Lost Dutchman Museum, the Gecko Express in Bashas'
Gold Canyon Center and Thunder Mountain Mercantile in Apache Junction and
Gold Canyon.

The King of Pinball! ELVIS.

August 6, 2004- At last.The King of Rock n' Roll® meets The King of Pinball!
ELVIS® , the new pinball machine from Stern Pinball, Inc., is the first
pinball ever to brandish the Elvis name and was designed by pinball's
leading designer, Steve Ritchie.

The ELVIS® pinball machine is a celebration of the music, the life, and the
legendary legacy of The King of Rock n' Roll®. Elvis collectors, pinball
collectors, and operators alike will have to have this pinball.

In the ELVIS® pinball machine Elvis sings, "See See Rider," "Blue Suede
Shoes," "All Shook Up," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Heartbreak Hotel,"
and "Burning Love." Actual recordings are used from the famed "'68 Comeback"
television special, as well as the "Aloha from Hawaii" television special.
It's actually Elvis singing!

ELVIS® sings and dances! A mechanical Elvis with shaking hips and gesturing
hands moves forward and back in perfect sync with real Elvis tunes, bringing
the microphone to The King Of Rock & Roll's® lips every time he sings a
phrase! This incredible effect of Elvis dancing and singing is highlighted
with re-mixed high quality sound tracks that draw people into the game.
ELVIS® IS THE MOST MUSICAL PINBALL EVER CREATED!

In addition to the mechanical Elvis, the mechanical-action toys on the
pinball include: a jailhouse (Jailhouse Rock); a Hound Dog that the player
sends up a pole when hit; a five bank of drop target; and a Heartbreak Hotel
with an opening front door on a clear Lexan second-level playfield.

The object of ELVIS® is to collect Elvis songs, win the Top-Ten Countdown,
and collect points by spelling out the name E-L-V-I-S. The player can then
compete for the highest reward.a trip to Graceland!

Jerry Vanderstelt, the incredible artist behind THE LORD OF THE RINGST, hand
painted the artwork for ELVIS®. Al Dvorin, Elvis' tour manager and
bandleader lends his voice as one of the game's announcers. Performer Jamie
Kelley provides an Elvis sound-alike speaking voice for "Elvis commentary"
heard as one plays the game. And the singing is by Elvis himself.

Steve Ritchie says, "ELVIS® is a nice blend of rules and action for the
average player, with some forgiveness for the novice, as well as depth of
rules that good players and collectors want for sustained play interest. The
ELVIS® design incorporates the most toys I have ever assembled into one
game.

"We have addressed operator issues wherever possible. With four flippers and
a magnet that sets up a loop flip, two genuine eject saucers, as well as
smooth shots, the game is packed with mechanical and software features. When
Elvis sings and dances people pay attention! ELVIS® is fun to play, hear,
and watch."

Gary Stern says, "What more can I say-It's Elvis!"

The ELVIS® pinball machine is available UL, CUL and CE approved, as
applicable.

The ELVIS® pinball machine will begin shipping at the end of August, 2004.

To get your ELVIS® pinball machine, contact your nearest Stern Pinball
distributor. You can also contact Jolly Backer at 1-708-786-7039 or by
e-mail at jolly.backer@sternpinball.com, or Shelley Sax at 1-708-786-7030.

Elvis Presley ou la revanche du Sud.

On 3 November 2004, a French Biography is isued "Elvis Presley ou la
revanche du Sud" .
(ISBN: 2213621284) by Sebastian Danchin.

Here some more Info in French :

"Sebastian Danchin est l'auteur, chez Fayard, de L'Encyclopédie du Rhythm &
Blues et de B.B. King.

Parmi la pléthore d'ouvrages consacrés au roi du rock 'n' roll, il manquait
encore une biographie raisonnée, susceptible de porter un regard objectif
empreint de curiosité sur le parcours d'exception d'un artiste qui était, au
jour de sa mort en 1977, le personnage public le plus célèbre dans le monde
avec Mao-Tsé-Toung!

Si la naissance du mythe Presley correspond à un moment où l'Amérique
adolescente s'éveille à une vision moins sclérosée des rapports entre les
sexes, parfaitement servie par l'érotisme du blues, ce mouvement prend une
tout autre dimension lorsque l'on comprend qu'il s'accompagne d'un
revirement plus global de la pensée américaine en faveur des valeurs
terre-à-terre portées par le Vieux Sud des États-Unis.

L'auteur, historien et spécialiste des cultures américaines, décrit d'une
plume alerte le destin extraordinaire de cet enfant du poor white trash
sudiste appelé à devenir le symbole de l'Amérique triomphante de l'ère
Eisenhower. Dans l'absurdité dérisoire et grandiose de ce destin explosif,
dans la grandeur pathétique de ce personnage romanesque dépassé par sa
propre image, c'est aussi le portrait d'une époque charnière au cours de
laquelle l'Amérique s'invente une nouvelle image qui se trouve dessiné dans
ce livre passionnant."

John Kerry´s rock and roll preferences.

Here´s what Kerry told RollingStone.

RS Who are your favorite rock & roll artists?

JK Oh, gosh. I'm, you know, a huge Rolling Stones fan; Beatles fan. One of
the most cherished photographs in my life is a picture of me with John
Lennon -- who I met back in 1971 at an anti-war rally. But I love a lot of
different performers.

RS Do you have a favorite Beatles song -- or Stones song?

JK I love "Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar." I love
"Imagine" and "Yesterday."

RS You're a greatest-hits kind of guy.

JK My favorite album is Abbey Road. I love "Hey Jude." I also like folk
music. I like some classical. I love guitar. Oh, God. I mean, you know --
Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Buffett . .

The only comment I have is that, judging from what he says he likes, I
wouldn´t have any trouble listening to what he played, say, at a room right
next to the one I occupied in my college. But I have a funny feeling that he
wouldn´t be as accomodating had I been able to make him listen to my
collection...( the rockk classics, starting with Elvis, and all the way down
to Little Richard, Roy Orbison, JLL, Chuck, Fats, Rick Nelson, Carl Perkins, etc, etc.

SAM THOMPSON - ELVIS' BODYGUARD TO ATTEND UK EVENT.

Book online tickets @ just £14.95 each at..
http://www.essentialelvis.com/Events.htm

Sam A. Thompson, bodyguard and friend of Elvis Presley, will visit the UK
this month as a guest speaker. The UK's official Elvis Presley magazine,
simply entitled Essential Elvis, is flying Sam to its event to enable fans
from around the country to listen to his incredible story.

Sam first met Elvis in 1972, just after his sister, then Miss Tennessee, had
begun a serious relationship with the King. Linda Thompson was romantically
linked to Elvis for almost five years, and her brother Sam soon joined his
security team.

During the years that Sam worked for Elvis, he was treated as a
bother-in-law. Elvis even purchased Sam and his wife Louise a home, just
yards from his Graceland mansion. They shared a personal relationship, which
lasted until Elvis' death in August 1977. Sam was on duty at Graceland at
the time, and was allocated the job of funeral security, and to personally
guard his friend's body until he was laid to rest.

Because of his security work, and his involvement with the Memphis Police
Department, Sam went on to study law. Elvis himself encouraged his friend to
pursue the career he wanted. Sam became a judge, and is now retired. He owes
his long and successful career to Elvis' guidance. It's a remarkable story.

The event will consist of the showing of almost 50 private never-before-seen
photos (on a huge screen) from Sam's family album. Candid shots of his
sister and Elvis in romantic poses, unseen photos of Sam protecting Elvis on
stage, and many other stunning memories of life with the world's greatest
superstar will be enjoyed for the very first time.

Professional entertainer and Elvis historian Shayne Driscoll will be
formerly interviewing Sam, before fans are given the opportunity to ask
their own questions. Fans will then enjoy time to talk to Sam personally.

There will also be a huge Elvis memorabilia stall, mini Elvis museum, all
Elvis disco and the chance to win some great prizes.

Event to be staged at...
Empress Suite, Marine Parade, Worthing, W. Sussex.
On...
Saturday 20th November 2004 @ 5pm

Elvis Presley the Kosher King.

Elvis Presley as a Jewish Icon. For immediate Released by: ElvisArt News.

Schmelvisers are those that write the kind of Elvis Presley stories and
articles which concentrate on all the negative aspects of his phenominal
career. Totally ignoring his beautiful voice and his unprecedented
domination of popular music.
Decades have rolled by since Elvis schlepped out of the building, yet we can
still find the cliche ridden description of his diet and personal history
paraded as news.
Schmelvisers can be found writing their pieces in the most respected
broadsheets to the lowliest tabloids, They can be seen on Prime-Time TV, and
heard on radio from Texas to Tel Aviv!

Thanks to Jonathan Goldstein and Max Wallace the authors of the book,
"Schmelvis", we are again informed Elvis had a jewish ancestor. So those
unfairly attacking the late Mr Presleystein should be on the lookout for
Mossad agents - you have been warned.
Elvisers, on the other hand, have nothing to worry about.

Cliff challenges EU rock'n'roll 'swindle' .

It Is the greatest pension fund raid of all time. The stars who created
rock'n'roll are about to lose the rights over the classic hits that made
them famous.

From January 1, 2005, anyone will be able to release landmark rock'n'roll
recordings such as Elvis Presley's That's All Right without paying a penny
in royalties to the performer or their estates.

But the rockers are fighting back. Sir Cliff Richard is launching a campaign
to close a loophole in European Union law, which means that artists and
record companies lose exclusive rights to their sound recordings after 50
years. If he and others are unsuccessful, the ruling will mean that the
rock'n'roll years will become a free-for-all, wiping billions of pounds off
the value of record companies.

Releases will fall into the public domain, year-by-year, with the Beatles'
catalogue becoming available from 2013. Recordings can be digitally
manipulated or used in films and advertisements with the artist having no
say over their repertoire. Sir Cliff, whose 1958 Move It single is cited as
the first authentic British "rock" hit, told The Times: "As I get older I am
told that I have achieved many chart 'firsts'. Now I am the first person to
be deprived of income simply because I have outlived the copyright on my
sound recordings."

The most successful singles artist in British chart history, Sir Cliff, 63,
said that he was leading a fight for music's unsung heroes. "I am very
fortunate because I continue to earn money," said the singer, who last night
secured his 59th top ten album with Something's Goin' On. "But what about
the Shadows or the families of Tommy Steele, Adam Faith or Lonnie Donegan?
Many artists rely on one hit record as their sole source of income, but now
they will earn nothing. I feel a responsibility to speak out for them."

Sir Cliff, who is well known for his Christian beliefs, added: "I am told
that my recordings could even be used in pornographic films and there's not
a thing I could do about it. I will have no control over how my music is
used. I believe performers must be entitled to their dignity."

The British Phonographic Industry and the International Federation of the
Phonographic Industry is lobbying the European Commission for an extension
of the copyright term. The bodies want the

EU Term of Protection directive to be brought in line with the United States
which has copyright on sound recordings to 95 years. Composers and writers
in Britain continue to enjoy protection for 70 years after their death.
Singers, such as Sir Cliff, who interpret other people's songs are at a
particular disadvantage.

He has delivered his own submission to a review of EU copyright legislation
initiated by Frits Bolkestein, the outgoing Internal Markets Commissioner.
Introducing himself as "an active and successful recording artist and
performer" who has recorded 1,000 songs, he argues: "Surely the creativity
of the artists whose performances breathe life into the authors' works is
worthy of recognition for at least the same period?"

The Elvis Presley industry, which was worth £21.8 million from Graceland
admissions alone last year, will be the first to suffer. That's All Right
and Blue Moon, his revolutionary 1954 recordings, are the first to enter the
public domain, with Love Me Tender and Heartbreak Hotel to follow soon. Bill
Haley's Rock Around The Clock and Shake, Rattle and Roll, are also available
from January.

Those who believe that music should be "free" argue that the 50-year rule
allows public access to songs that record companies and artists have enjoyed
ample opportunity to exploit. But the BPI said that new bands will miss out
as record companies lose control over their back catalogue. A spokesman
said: "Labels rely on income from past hits to invest in new talent".

Ray Davies songs for Elvis.

Just picked up a fantastic book all about the Kinks called "All Day And All
Of The Night" that chronicles their surperb career from 1961 to 1996.

In it, it states that Ray Davies submitted a couple of songs for Elvis' 1966
movie Spinout. One title he certainly offered for the film was "Never Say
Yes" which, as we know, was included in the picture (but written by Pomus
and Shuman???).

I thought this was interesting - Davies was certainly writing many classic
tracks at this point and 1964 - 66 was when the Kinks were at their most
successful commercially. I wonder what his attempt at Never Say Yes was like
- maybe we'll get to hear a demo one day.

Also, the band (or some of it) appeared on American tv, playing with James
Burton and Glen D. Hardin.

Elvis can be king.

Elvstroem, affectionately known to punters as "Elvis", is the forgotten
galloper in Tuesday's $4.6 million Emirates Melbourne Cup. However, the
four-year-old entire has the chance to write his name into the history books
and stake an undeniable claim for Horse of the Year with victory in this
famous race. He has the staying ability, combined with a weight-for-age
sprint, to become the 12th galloper to win the Caulfield-Melbourne Cup
double in the same year. He is at his peak. He won the weight-for-age
Underwood Stakes and Turnbull Stakes, and then the Caulfield Cup (2400m)
with an all-the-way effort that was a display of raw talent and courage.
Elvstroem was rehandicapped 2.5 kg in the Melbourne Cup after his Caulfield
Cup success -- an indication handicapper Jim Bowler rates him highly.
Although a Melbourne Cup tilt was an after-thought, Elvstroem has thrived
and has plenty going in his favour. He has the ability to be handy to the
lead and, with his sustained sprint, he should be the one to run them down
in the dying stages. Trainer Tony Vasil has the handsome entire at a peak
for this race and the stable believes he can stamp himself as a superstar in
Australia before heading abroad. Clearly he is the forgotten, or neglected,
horse in this race.

Elvis eternally popular at Halloween.

Pirates, wizards and Elvis - fads come and fads go, but there remain some
constants, even when it comes to Halloween costumes. Yesterday's Cher is
today's Britney Spears, but yesterday's Elvis remains today's hunk o' hunk
o' burning love. "Every year we get requests for pirates, wizards ...
Elvis," said Catherine Inman of Stage Door Costumes in Quincy. Today's
pirates may look a lot like Johnny Depp, and the wizards are more along the
Harry Potter order, but Elvis is Elvis.
