Thanks Jen, I've never seen this before either.....how sad.

[MissyM]

Thanks, P-31. I've seen it before. It just breaks my heart. When I remember talking to Billy's mamma Lorraine that day, it's like it was yesterday. It's something you just don't forget.

Thank you Jen, I've never seen that interview. I do believe Billy was the one of the MM who loved Elvis the most.

I don't think of Billy as just one of the MM, he is family......but you are right - he really did love Elvis.

[Diane]

Kelly, I have a hard time with that too. I never really think of Billy as MM. I think of him as the little cousin who grew up with Elvis.

The one fixing her lipstick?? I need to go back and look at her again....she was the one making googly eyes at elvis during the 68 special - they had a thing didn't they?

[ksimms2]

Elaine, is your son the big tall handsome one?? With TBC or something on his black shirt?

[MissyM]

Love the link for th photos!! Thanks

[TurnpikeTaylor]

Is it me, or does Billy always seem a little grumpy?

[Diane]

Lol, I think it's just his looks Turnpike. He's had that basset hound look for quite a few years now....more sad than grumpy I think.

HEY I'M ONLY 37 MYSELF! No i'm not sure who he is, he's definately NOT my son though - i'll try and find out for you.

Pic 32, the lady fixing her lip stick is Jeanna Lemay, she was a close friend of Linda Thompsons, and has just written a book about her time staying at Graceland with some fantastic unseen photos too. She loved Elvis, i'm not sure she was at the 68 special though.
You are all welcome for the link, glad you all enjoyed the photos.

If any of you in the UK like what you see on the website please email me at lulu32_2002@yahoo.co.uk with your address, and i'll get a FREE copy of the magazine sent out to you by my brother Andrew Hearn ( the editor) so you can take a look and maybe then subscribe to it. It is a world wide publication though so those else where can still join too.
Thanks!
