I can't believe it's been 25 years. I was just a little kid, but I remember it. Women were calling into the radio station crying.

There was this strange family in our small town. The mother of the family was a big Elvis fan and every year for summer vacation they went to Memphis, before and after he died. The mother was beside herself with grief. Anyway, that's who I always think about when I think of Elvis...the family with the shocking red hair who spent their summers in Memphis.

Nice to see you Sir Meek. xoxoxox

Hey, Miss SpookBrat! Nice to see you. Yeah, Elvis had a lot of fans including me. When you post song links, you can never go wrong with Elvis or Jim Reeves, imho! (And THANKS for all the songs you have posted, btw !)

Here's a little thing I found while doing a search. One guy had the nerve on that memorial thread to tell me that Elvis was dead "flame guards up", or to that effect. Not sure if he was being sarcastic or not. Anyway, I sent him this!:

20 years after his death, Elvis is King of the Web

From CNN Interactive Writer Andy Walton

Elvis has left the building for good, but twenty years after his death, The King is alive and well on the World Wide Web.

If you've ever had a hankerin' -- and, let's face it, who hasn't? -- to climb into a white satin jumpsuit, scarf a couple of fried banana sandwiches, and try a few karate kicks, the Web might provide just the right outlet. One that won't worry your friends and neighbors quite so much, at least.
