Wow. Just like that.

You know, even if you weren't an Elvis fan, didn't know what he looked or sounded like, if you had only read all these notes that See See Rider has posted for us...when you got to that last one...BAM! Gone. Whoa!

I was three years old when he left us...To have been Elvis-aware when that happened...must have been something.

I wish I was in Memphis now. That probably goes without saying. I'm gonna go put some Elvis vinyl on. Group hug, TCBers. Good night.
