Been tweeking this old one up a bit lately. This is not 'Memory' it's 'Memories' which was done by EP in the video '68 comeback where he wore the black leather jumpsuit, sweating profusely in amongst all the giggling girls around him. Hope you like it, I find it rather a peaceful instru late at night.

Guitar used here is my 80's Korean Fender Bullet.

Interesting interview recently with Piers Morgan, when Priscilla was asked what was her favourite Elvis song . . . yep, 'Memories.'

Hi Bob,

The 68’ Comeback tour was Elvis at his best, I have the DVD.

The producers ignored the influence Tom Parker and commercial sponsors had over him, they wanted to make it a tame Christmas special. Like many, I often wonder what the outcome would have been if he had managed to break free from Parkers clutches at this time.

Perhaps appropriate for this time of year, I wondered if you have seen the video of “White Christmas” with Martina McBride later super imposed over the original?

There is still much about his music that has enduring relevance:

Yes it amazes me when a singer 'begins' on maybe the highest note I could hope to reach.
