R.I.P John, another sad loss in Elvis's world, he's slowly getting his orchestra back together.

Very sad news. R.I.P. John. I've just read this on a site (http://www.elvis-collectors.com/foru...36&mobile=on):

"Perhaps the most beautiful part is when John Wilkinson smiles. This isn’t a smile that precedes laughter; it’s a smile that finds its way to your face out of pure happiness. This is a man who had already played with Elvis for two seasons, and could, at the very least, be described as knowing Elvis the Musician quite intimately. And yet you can’t help but see the admiration on his face as he witnesses something that is so elusive and fragile; you can’t fabricate a moment like that. Look at his astonished face just before he smiles. He too is lost in the moment."

The scene is my favourite as well.

Thank you for the lovely videos. I loved John's smile as well. He was my favorite of the musicians and I'm so sad that he is gone. Rest well John and smile with Elvis while you play for him.
