Thank you to you and Ray Steve for a fantastic, interesting interview. I think once I told you that I've held off People who wrote about Elvis. When I was younger I did get Elvis we love you tender by the Stanley's, it dropped to bits in the end.i also have Elvis the final days by Jerry Hopkins. And I got Elvis & me Priscilla wrote. The Lucy De Barbin book as I was wanting to know what she was all about. It can be pretty convincing at times but surely someone would have known how did he managed to go see her ?? Anyway I finally got round to getting some others. I got Jerry Schilling book, which I really enjoyed. Elvis & the Memphis Mafia, I gave it to my Mam to read 1st and I'll have to read it. So that said when you said she is coming on to talk to you that will be awesome 😁

About the beat to his latest flame,it is difficult singing it and playing it on guitar, when I used play guitar I got a book of Elvis song, I love this song but yeah Bo Diddley style x

For me he was at his very very best in fact he was awesome in 68,69,73. Like you said Steve, 75 onwards he just got further & further down. He died from 'Terminal Apathy' one of the Mafia has said and Parker was a bloody heavy weight around Elvis's neck. Ya know one of my favourite Elvis record is Moody Blue. I got the blue Vinyl I think came out a few year back, I love to collect coloured vinyl. And there is the Way Down In The Jungle which I do like to listen, cos he wouldn't go to studio. even sometimes not coming down from his bedroom.
