In the Elvis World, who all have you met?

[utmom2008]

Sam Thompson seemed to be the least impressive.

And probably the smartest....

Me too Shelley! I do have a a CD signed by Lisa Marie! My friend met her when Lisa was in Toronto doing a CD signing. She could not believe how sweet she was. She asked her if she could sign a piece of paper for me and Lisa told her that she had extra CDs with her and she signed one and gave it to her....free. So I tell everyone that Lisa Marie gave me her own CD.

That's cool! I've always heard that she's a sweetheart despite the image she gets portrayed as by Elvis fans and the media. She's done alot of charity work in Memphis over the years. She an Priscilla. I've always wanted to meet Priscilla more than anyone. It would be the closest to ever touching Elvis. I also think she's hot for a 66 year old grandma.

And probably the smartest....

I'm not doubting that. When I say least impressive I mean he was the least talkative. Seemed like when I asked him what was it like to work for Elvis, his sister's boyfriend and all he would say was something like "it was great. Elvis was good man". That's it. It was like come on Sam. Open up a bit.

How did you meet Riley and not Lisa? I've heard from others that Riley isn't all that impressed that Elvis is her grandfather. I hope that's not true. I've never heard her talk about him.

Rufus Thomas, played the first airing of TAR on raido in 54

Dewey Phillips was the first to play TAR on the radio.

Thomas may very well have been the first black DJ to play it, but Phillips was the first.

[Awickedreigndrop]

The only person I met in the Elvis world was Joe Esposito. Sad, I know

[EPguide]

I have met just a few "Elvis people".

Scotty Moore was about the most important to me. We met him backstage in Dublin and had a laugh with him about Elvis, and star struck fans.. like us.



Becky Martin Tupelo (RIP) was another interesting lady. Documentary makers usually include her in Tupelo and Elvis birthplace footage. Even Irish TV! She is immortalised on the Story wall by Elvis's Birthplace

Last time we seen her in August 2003 she insisted on taking us to dinner. We had a great time.

Her home was festooned with Elvis photos and memorabilia.

We exchanged a number of letters over the years. Being of Irish descent, Becky was delighted to be mentioned in an Irish newspaper.

As far as I know Sotty is fine. Whether travelling or not I'm not sure. See www.scottymoore.net James V Roy does a great job keeping us up to date with news of Scotty.

Just a few of the letters we received from Becky Martin. Her former home is just across from Elvis's birthplace. I believe her nephew owns it now.
