Trying To Get To You...

[TotallyInsane]

This song is so appropriate for me and my girlfriend in Memphis around 74-75 I think it was. We along with my mom made one of them fast weekend trips to Memphis. Elvis was home!!! Me and my girlfriend went exploring along the side of Graceland (where EPE is now but it was a church back then). We saw where a dog had started digging a hole under the fence so....a light bulb went off inside my head!! Lori, come on, let's finish this hole and go under the fence and we can go knock on the back door and as for Elvis!! Long story short, we did. We sat in the bushes getting up our nerve and then began the long walk towards the carport. Just as we got there here come these 2 dogs barking and barking and barking...we took off running back to the bushes along the side of the fence. We dove into the bushes and were crawling up and down the fence looking for the hole....scared to death!! The dogs ran up and down the side of the fence barking their heads off. We finally made it back down the guardshack. Later on we were asking Harold about the dogs and he said "nah, those dogs don't bite they just bark"!!! DARN - IF WE'D ONLY KNOWN THAT A FEW HOURS EARLIER!! Here are some of the pix we made that day.

It was one of them but not the only one. We followed him down to Brooks Rd. and on to the highway on his motorcycle with Ginger in 3/77. He drove like a bat out of hell on that thing...I was in a car and I was nervous. Can't imagine being on the back of that thing...wait a minute...yes, I can!!

He would have just LOVED ME!!!!! I only wish we had kept going instead of turning into a couple of chickens!!!! Remember the 2 girls that had themselves put into crates and shipped to Graceland....(no, that wasn't us) :D

I think he would have loved you too. He had a great sense of humor and loved kids .

:doh: I wondered if those girls might have been you all. That took some ingenuity . :lol:

[Lonniebealestreet]

Well, he barks like he's bad...aw, but he don't bite.

Didn't you buy Elvis' records back then? He was trying to tell you something there. ;)

[tcbeus]

You're right but that thought never once crossed my mind as I running to save my backside!!!

[SweetCaroline]

Awesome story, Gail! You are a great personality and I love your stories!!!

I would have loved to known you when you were young, too!!! Your outfit and long blonde hair...and even your mind set back then...(one track...ELVIS)....reminds me of myself. :lol:

[TotallyInsane]

Between you, me and Rosanne - he wouldn't have stood a chance if the 3 of us had been there together!!! OMG - can you imagine what we could have done as team of 3???

[TotallyInsane]

Sweet Caroline -
I'm still quite fun - just don't have a gorgeous hunk to stalk anymore!!!

[Unchained Melody]

Ahh what a great story!

Just think what maybe could have happened if you all would not have run off from the dogs:lol::blush:.
