I can remember where I was when I heard that Elvis Presley had died 30 years ago today. I was playing baseball at my uncle Larry’s house down in Indian Trail. [My uncle Larry reads my blog – HEY LARRY! I can’t wait to see you and your family on Saturday!] Anyway, I was playing baseball with my cousins Chris and Allan Simpson. My aunt Reba came out of my Grandpa Simpson’s house and screamed “Elvis is dead!” My aunt Linda had called and told my mom who told Reba and everybody else in the house. I couldn’t believe it back then at nine years of age and I still can’t believe it now that I’m thirty-nine years old. I am now, and will always be, a HUGE fan of the king.

This is a video of my favorite Elvis singing my favorite "Elvis" song. Enjoy!
