Elvis and Me

Old Times There Are Not Forgotten ... Francois  ca 2002 Francois just sent me this. There's a back story. Back in the day I had, where my computer desk is now, a million watt stage amplifier, two 40" high stage speakers, assorted mixing equipment, a reverb, electronic drum, a floor mike and an electric gee-tar.  I'd open the windows and serenade passers-by with C-D-F-Em and G rock and roll music like House of the Rising Sun. For some reason nobody called the police.  Francois  is my erstwhile neighbor.  He and wife Evvy were our companions in some of the best times we ever had as adults.  When Frank and I got looped, which was often enough, I'd walk him home so he didn't have to crawl.  Once there however, he had to hold me up so I could get home.  We often solved this circular loop with a couple more beers and some showtime!  At 2 AM.  Frank has a terrific voice, and our favorite, by far, song was this very Elvis tune.  I wish we had recorded it.  But in my mind, it sounds just like this rendition. Thanks Frank!
