I was at work at the Memphis & Shelby County Tax Assessor’s Office the day he died. When news of it got out, every phone in the place lit up. Newsies from all over the planet was calling for any information they could get concerning Elvis & Graceland. That was SOME day! After I got off work, I drove past Graceland. It was wall to wall humainity out there. It must have taken a half an hour to drive a half mile. I’ve never seen anything like that crowd other than a crowd at a sporting event. I’ve never been an Elvis “fan” per se, but I’ve grown to appreciate his music and singing. He did that VERY well. His Hawaii show was great. That was less than four years before he dide. That was probably the best he ever looked.

As an aside, he had a horseshoe ring on in that Hawaii show. It was huge. I have been wondering whatever became of it.

That was probably the best he ever looked

I think this is the best he ever looked... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2SNfIiGsLw

RIP Big E and keep TCB.

Hi NCC-1701, Some of Elvis' amazing jewelry has been on display at Graceland. I was hoping I had a photo of that particular ring, however, I don't think it's included in this display. The display, though, is fantastic -- to see it in "real life" is really impressive, even behind glass. And yes, the diamonds are real.

Here's another photo - a display of Elvis' guns that's also impressive. Both photos were taken by Aleksandra Rebic August 13, 2007.
