So, it must be the case that there are many others such as yourself who admire his work.<br /><br />Having just returned from South America to the big freeze of Budapest, we can certainly empathise with your thinking fondly of Hawaii whilst it is cold outside. May Elvis continue to rock on.....<br /><br />Thank you for your kind messages. They are very much appreciated.<br /><br />Wishing you peace, joy and success for 2015.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-9531833243948603272015-01-10T10:15:51.230-05:002015-01-10T10:15:51.230-05:00I have an aunt who is only 8 years older than I am...I have an aunt who is only 8 years older than I am, but she ADORED Elvis. And my sister and I promised to take her to a concert the next time he came to Atlanta. When I heard he died, that was the first thing that I thought of, I wouldn't be able to take her to see Elvis. And then (as I was driving a car), I pulled over and had to process his death for a moment. Only time I have ever done that.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-23904309071943838292015-01-10T10:13:17.807-05:002015-01-10T10:13:17.807-05:00April of 1973, maybe they waited to show the Aloha...April of 1973, maybe they waited to show the Aloha concert to make it during the month of your debut on Earth!
