Elvis The King!

In 1956 my dad asked me if I liked the music of Elvis. I was a shy child and would always try to answer in a way that might please my parents. Howere in this case I just answered that I loved Elvis and his music.

We were living in New Orleans and Elvis spent time there and was popular. Jail House Rock opens with a skyline view of the city.

A year before he died, Elvis played the field house at Indiana University. My sister Carol was a student and arranged for two tickets to the show. My sister Kathy went with me to the show. Kathy had never been a fan of Elvis. Half way through the show she turned to me and said wow this is fun!

Just a little more than a year later, Elvis died.

A year ago, I went to Graceland. Elvis is buried there. It was a great comfort to see how Graceland would have been the place where he could find peace.

I still miss Elvis.
