Gone But Never Forgotten.If Elvis was in Las Vegas when he wasn''t performing, he would go down and gamble in the casino.Nobody would bother him.But if he was working Vegas, it was a different story.The hotel would be flooded with Elvis fans.I remember one day during one of his engagements, he came down out of his suite on the elevator,alone.All of a sudden I see just hordes of people running toward the elevator.I had no idea what was going on, but it turned out Elvis had walked out of the hotel, gotten into a cab, and gone down to the gun shop to buy some guns.It was always like that if he tried to venture out he was working.When he wasn''t working there ,somehow he kind of blended in.
When Elvis celebarated his 39th birthday on January 8,1974,the entire town of Membership got in on the festivities and setup a parade for their most popular resident.Hundreds of people paraded down Elvis Presley Boulevard,led by the Mayors of both Memphis and Tupelo,Missisippi.The L.C. Humes High School band supplied the parade music.As they neared Graceland, the band slid into a jazzy rendition of "Happy Birthday".Elvis heard the music and excitement comming from the street and ran out of his house.He was then treated to the sight of the parade and the musical salute by the band.Both Mayors walked up to the gates and yelled by the band.Both Mayors walked up to the gates and yelled out thir best wishes to the King.Elvis could not beleive that the Mayors would actually get involved in something so trivial as a parade for his birthday. He could not see what the big deal was and could not understand why they would go to so much trouble for him.
A radio station in Jacksonville.florida set up a contest to promote Elvis''April 25th 1975 show at the Vetrans Memorial Coliseum.The disc jockey had ten pairs of tikets for the show and wanted to give them awy via a radio contest.If a caller could correctly answer questons about Elvis and his career, they would win the tickets.The responce to the contest was so great thet the central telelphone system was knocked out.Phone went dead for miles around.The station had to cancel the telephone contest and ended up giving the tikets to listeners who visited them at the station.The only prerequisite to winning a pair of tickets was that whoever came in had to be wearing blue suede shouse or had to have a hound dog.
