I remember my parents getting this great invitation to a party at Graceland that was shapped like a guitar--they didn't go! Elvis is my dad's age but I have always thought he was soooo sexy (I'm blushing). My favorite Elvis songs are Fever and Suspicious Minds. Long Live the King (if only in our memories)!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089857376117965175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261183627726791341.post-79745946833621586862010-04-03T13:23:11.974-07:002010-04-03T13:23:11.974-07:00Please don't hate me - I was never that fond o...Please don't hate me - I was never that fond of Elvis.

My uncles - who were in their teens & twenties - used to mimic Elvis' hair and tried to dress like him - especially with the pointy shoes. <br />One my uncle Adelard "Sonny" Lagace died earlier this year, his wake had a bit of an Elvis theme. There was even a commemorative CD with a montage of my uncle playing guitar and superimposed images of Elvis. Some of my relatives said he must be happy to be in Heaven with Elvis!<br />Some might scoff at this type of memorial, but I think it's great that people plan the type of wake that they think suits the departed.<br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261183627726791341.post-38280487371702793052010-04-03T01:25:11.092-07:002010-04-03T01:25:11.092-07:00I love this PFF post.

And you love the JXL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" - just like me.
