    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

    I know he played piano on It's Still Here, I Will Be True, Wear my Ring Around your neck, I'll Hold You In My Heart, plus a lot of the home recordings. These a coupe of studio tracks i missed, can't drag them out of the memory.

    But does anyone know what tracks he played piano on in the How Great Thou Art sessions. All i can ever find is comments that Elvis played piano at this session it would be great to know on which tracks.

    Where are you getting these comments from? Session sources do not list Elvis playing anything at the HGTA sessions.

    Source? Billy Smith in "Revelations From The Memphis Mafia" on page 661.

    "For some reason, Elvis played bass guitar on "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain". Felton bragged on him, I remember".

    Ray Walker in the dvd He Touched Me said that during the recording session for the album How Great Thou Art that Elvis played the piano for three hours to work out the arrangement for the song How Great Thou Art.

    Sorry, TT, but I'd take this one with a grain of salt.

    Perhaps so. But he didn't play anything during the actual recordings.

    Wasn't it Elvis that played the "jug" on Barefoot Ballad?
