The FR Canteen Saturday Night Jukebox Proudly Presents:
A Tribute To The King of Rock N Roll -- Elvis Presley!
Today (January 8th) would have marked Elvis' 70th birthday.
In tribute to him, we are going to take a short journey through his life and music! If you would like to join the fun, please post anything Elvis today. If you would prefer to hear other music, please post all the requests on the thread, via FReepmail, or email us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com with "Music Request" in the subject line.

1. Known as the "King Of Rock"
2. It is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history. (From elvis.com)
3. The only tours outside of America were all in Canada.
4. Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America.
5. He was also a leading artist in the American country, R&B, and gospel fields, and his chart success in other countries was substantial.
6. In 1961, Elvis gave a benefit concert at Bloch Arena in Hawaii that raised over $65,000 toward the building of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
7. The 1984 W.C. Handy Award from the Blues Foundation in Memphis recognized Elvis for "keeping the blues alive in his music - rock and roll."
8. In 1986, Elvis was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. His presenters were none other than Sean and Julian Lennon--the sons of John Lennon.
9. Is a direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandfather, Isaiah Harrison.
10. One of only a handful of artists inducted into both The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and The Country Music Hall of Fame. Others include Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
11. The Beatles were admirers of his work and although John Lennon said they enjoyed his company very much, Elvis himself, ironically, thought that the Beatles were a bad influence on America's youth.
12. More people watched _Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (1973)_ (live Via Satellite TV special) than watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
13. In 1975 he purchased a poor black East Memphis woman an electric wheel chair and picked her up and personally sat her in it. The woman's teenage daughter told Elvis she liked his car. He gave it to her and even gave her boyfriend a job.

Yes, I have been working. But, the shelters are not heated so it's cold. But, we have the proper attire and portable heaters, if needed.

[SirLurkedalot]

((KathyinAlaska))) Better late than never!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Your polar bears are cute! I'm just having trouble catching up and jumping all over the place and trying to find songs and is that enough excuses.

[Fawnn]

Kathy in Alaska!!!
#1200!!!


My power was out fewer than 3 hours, so it got a bit nippy, but overall I've stayed warm today. (My daughter's power went out again; didn't hear back from her, so I don't know if it's on again or not.)

[Kathy in Alaska]

ROTFLMAO!!! Too cute. Do you have a back up plan if your power stays out very long.....like go to bed with lots of blankets, mittens, ski hat, hoody sweatshirt?

[Fawnn]

Either your plan or go to my brother's house and hang out in front of the fireplace. ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

OK, I'm having a problem picturing using nuts and bolts with gloves on. Stay safe and warm.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like a plan except for the ice. I almost fell going to my car on Thursday after work.

[Kathy in Alaska]

SirLurked! ((HUGS))

[Fawnn]

The plan of going to my brother's pretty much depends on somebody coming to pick me up.

I'd prefer to stick it out at home as long as I can.

[Kathy in Alaska]

*sniff* What a story, Gummy......God works in mysterious ways.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ms Poohbear....I'm sorry I missed you. I'm really glad you rested. Someone else can clean for awhile!!

[StarCMC]

My daughter always looks at me when that song plays to see if my eyes are getting teary

Our daughters must be related - LOL!! Mine sort of rolls her eyes at me cause on some days I cry at the drop of a hat! LOL!

One day, though, my 8yo son and I were in the car and heard a song (that I still NEED a copy of) that had the words "all they want for Christmas is a soldier coming home" which of course followed closely on the heels of American Soldier and I was a basket case - he he he!! My SON was even teary eyed!

We love you guys (and gals.) Thank you!

[SuthrnGirl]

you poor thing......Im so sad for you....I hope your life takes a turn for the good so you will stop being so sour in your soul and jealous of good folks......

By the way, how do YOU know Elvis is NOT in heaven?? His lifestyle indicated he wasnt?? how do you know that?? did you see anything with your own eyes? No, of course you didnt, so stop telling lies....its gonna send you to hell.. I sure feel sorry for you...

[blackie]

Thanks Kathy, good stuff!

Dizzy is the reason I gave up playing trumpet as a teenager and became a listener ~ I just didn't have the chops. :):)

MIDI - DEVIL IN DISGUISE

(I've been warning you...I've been warning you)

She looks like she’s evil…acts like she’s evil…talks like she’s evil
Come on, get wise…she’s the devil with big thighs
That’s Hillary-y…devil with big thighs…oh, yeah

I have called her Satan’s Daughter…that should be clear to all
One more person agrees with me…ask Mary Sheila Gall

She looks like she’s evil…acts like she’s evil…talks like she’s evil
Come on, get wise…she’s the devil with big thighs
That’s Hillary-y…devil with big thighs…oh, yeah

If she’s given much more power…our nation’s gonna fail
She’ll be laughing right in your face...showing her horns and tail

She looks like she’s evil…acts like she’s evil…talks like she’s evil
Come on, get wise…she’s the devil with big thighs
That’s Hillary-y…devil with big thighs…oh, yeah

Devil with big thi-ighs…oh, yes, she is
Devil with big thi-ighs…oh, yes, she is
Devil with big thi-ighs…oh, yes, she is

[doug from upland]

From the archives. The old MIDI link didn't work so I hope this MIDI will track reasonably well.

MIDI - RETURN TO SENDER

Return the sofa…return the sofa

The day for which we all had waited…there came the moving van
All the workers got lectured…to pack up all they can

They heard from Ashcroft
Return the sofa…return the lamps
Scumbag Clintons…trailer tramps

Without excuses…I don’t care how
I ain’t no Janet Reno…things will be different now

The Clintons had a looting party…and they cleaned out the place
They have proven they’re lowlifes…with eight years of disgrace

They heard from Ashcroft
Return the sofa…return the lamps
Scumbag Clintons…trailer tramps

We’ve known it for a very long time and we have been warning you
They’ve always believed the law’s not for them…there’s nothing they won’t do

They heard from Ashcroft
Return the sofa…return the lamps
Scumbag Clintons…trailer tramps

Without excuses…I don’t care how
You will find things…different now

[ozaukeemom]
