Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

Thank you ALL for contributing your posts.

Always welcome.

It would have nice if there had a short TV programme
about Mr Presley on one of the channels.

Well, instead, we can all remember and listen to the music. :-)


Take gentle care all
Best wishes

It will be thirty eight years in August since Elvis died. He would have been eighty years old on eight of Jan. .What's the significance of 54 years Bob ?

I wonder, as must his family have done, whether Elvis' twin would have been able to sing too and if their future together would have been different hsd they sung together, or even if Elvis had had a close brother to lean on?

Now he is resting in peace and hopefully has his lost twin close with his family together.

Such a wonderful voice, 'Suspicios minds' was my favourite.

Thank you, Elizabeth. I did not forget Elvis, the King of music IMO, I just forgot to post about him here this year :)

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Dear Rambles

Hello

Hope you are okay.


That's a lovely choice for one of Mr P's songs. :-)

"Always on my mind" is one of my special favourites.


Take gentle care, Rambles

An Elvis song was my first 'favourite song' when I was little Elizabeth :-)

"Wooden Heart (Muss I Denn)"

Can't you see
I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
'Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart

Muss i denn, muss i denn
Zum Stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart"

Dear All

Hello


On this day in 1935, Mr Vernon Elvis Presley, aged 18 and Mrs Gladys Presley, who was 22, became the parents of a baby boy.

The couple went through conflicting emotions as Mrs Presley lost the other baby,
a twin boy, who was named Jessie Garon Presley.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The baby boy who lived was named Elvis Aaron Presley.

From humble beginnings, the young Mr Elvis started a music career, whose songs have inspired generations. <3



Take gentle care
