This clip is in honor of Gail and myself!When we were teenagers we would sit in front of the TV with our reel-to-reel and/or cassette players and record an entire movie. Sometimes, we would play them over the phone..so that we could hear him say something that we thought was really cool! Girl Happy was one of our very favorites, and Do Not Disturb makes me think of Gail. One time she was recording a movie and her Pa-Paw came in the room...you hear Gail saying ssshhhh....I'm recording Elvis. We both wanted to hang Do Not Disturb signs on the door!! I'm telling you...we were crazy!!

You were crazy, indeed, girls! But you also had a wonderful time of your life back then and I'm so glad to see both of you that you treasure those moments and keep them in your minds and hearts. I guess the cassete/record era is gone but the memories are still very much alive!!
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
I remember the old cassette recorders. My friend and I back in the seventies would tape Elvis speaking and erase the other person talking and fit our voices in there so it would sound like we were talking to Elvis.I also recorded many Elvis movies that way just to hear his voice. The good old days!
Wow, what a sexy voice!
so was the only time ya'll saw the light of day was inthe car on the way to Elvis concerts?
you two make me smile, i have best friends, but no ElvisBuddy
All I wanted was a white knight with a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset Baby, I'm forever yours
Gee whiz! All of this talk about reel cassettes and such is making me feel pretty OLD!LOL...sounds like you and Gail bonded even closer thanks to ol' E. I've made some great friends on here, so I think we owe him a debt of gratitude for being the accelerant that has started so many friendships, huh???
EVERYBODY SAY: THANK YOU ELVIS!!!

My two best friends are Elvis buddies so I've been lucky. I never really went in for cassettes...I think I only bought one. I went from vinyls to CDs basically.

That is a really neat thing to say...and very true.You were crazy, indeed, girls! But you also had a wonderful time of your life back then and I'm so glad to see both of you that you treasure those moments and keep them in your minds and hearts.

Along those lines......one time when I was in the 8th grade we had to memorize several pages of Romeo and Juliet. When my name was called I asked my teacher if I could have one more day, that I wasn't quite ready. All of my friends busted out laughing and told the teacher....ask her to recite Girl Happy, she can do the whole movie for you!
Ha,ha! That was funny!That is a really neat thing to say...and very true.

Shelley Fabares for sure..she gets her guy in the end!Ha,ha! That was funny!
Rosanne to of been a part of your adventures would of been amazing.Growing up I lived and still live in Newfoundland, Canada which is so far from the "real Elvis world". My best friend and I would come up with some crazy Elvis adventures of our own. We were both planning for the day when we would make lots of money and follow Elvis on tour. Of course that dream ended in 1977.My best friend moved away a year later. So I am thrilled that after 30 years I can talk to some Elvis friends again. Elvis is still doing his magic and bringing us all together!
lol...you people crack me up
Rosanne, can you still recite Girl Happy?
