Reply With QuoteI am not a fan of impersonators.
There are a few who are good but that?s it.
But that?s my own opinion.
Hey guys I missed you all! I hope the radio shows went well. WHAT A WEEKEND...I think Mrs. Lipps said we had 1500 a day watching it was awesome!
ExSpence Account Showband was awesome!
....Sweet Inspration could not come due to personal reasons. I did met Jerry S. was going to take picture, and he shook my hand and gave me some really great words and compliments, but I did not get picture with him, because he had fly out right after talking to audience to other public showing today.
I did get to see my very close friends, Sandi Pichon, Patti Perry I have attacted some picture from Saturday and Sunday shows and of Sandi and Patti and I.

Some of you all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
mm thanks for the posting... but i dont like impersonator either... sorry
I'm not a big fan of impersonators. However, I've been following your post's and I believe your hearts in the right place to produce a loving not mocking tribute.
Keep up the good work my friend.
If your an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary....
If your not, no explanation is possible!
Congrats, Tim.... I am sure that you do Elvis in a respectful way and I am someone who loves to see him honored in that way. Thanks for sharing you pic's and keeping the King alive Dovey
(I'll bet you had a great time)
Thanks everyone for wounderful comments. I know some people don't like us but just wanted share these pictures with you. Now there was a lady there that has helped Paul and Kay Lipps since they started this little over 15 years ago. All the money goes to Special Olympics well she found out Sunday her house burned down she went home check the damage (lost everything!) She came back to help because she loves helping every year. So please pray for her and her family. She lost everything! He photos of Elvis she took when ever Elvis was in Ohio, Illionis or Indiana she was there. And all her Elvis stuff.
I went out today and bought 4 packs of blank CD's and I plan on sending her copies of ever Elvis CD and DVD's I have of him to her. I will get her address on here and anyway you can help please help her.
Love to all,
Tim Dudley
RS, thank you for those kind words. I love Elvis more than you will ever know. My girlfriend is the same too.
I don't generally care for Elvis impersonators either for the usual reasons but through your posts I know your heart is in the right place. I enjoy everything you have to say.
Awww, thank you so much Diane. Means the world to me. Elvis has been big part of my life. My grandparents raised me and they where huge Elvis fans and Elvis has always been part of my life. If I had all day I would tell you everything that has happen in my life. And Elvis and his Music has always been there for me in good and bad times in my life and I love Elvis like a bigger brother.
You are greatly welcome and I wish we both had all day as I would love to listen to all your stories.
Well 4 scores and 7 years ago...wait thats longer than I have been a live.lol Hey if we ever meet up at Elvis event and I'm the singer or just there to have fun. Will go out for coffee you and your hubby (if your married) and My girlfriend and I.
Love to all,
Tim Dudley
Oh i forgot to say also these are only Digital Pictures. So when I get 35mm picture I'll post more because I'm sure they wont be as blurry.
My grandmother suprised me and my aunt too who I ha ven't seen since I started my Tribute Show showed up. As a suprise my grandmother got me a Replica(Real) of the TCB Ring. After the shows. I have put picture on it. It totally floored me! She told me she got it for me as being proud of me.
I have attached a photo to this post the best one I could find with digital pictures.
I've met Patty before...a nice lady indeed, but never have Sandy. I do know that Sandy lost her home in Hurricane Katrina last year, including nearly all of her rare Elvis photos and memorabilia; quite sad.
Glad you had a great time and made it back home safely

Yep for sure Dudcowboy if my husband and I should ever run across you at an Elvis event we would love to have coffee with you and your girlfriend. Take care, Diane
Yea Steve she lost almost everything that was in basement and on 1st floor of her house. She had one of the jackets from 2 piece suits from 1975 I believe the one from Tennessee show, and scarfs and etc. She also had the chance to sit in the 1973 Stax Studio recordings and had pictures of that too that she never shared because no one was to take pictures but Elvis told her it was ok, just not to show anyone.
Diane sounds good to me. Just tell me who you are because I'm not good with names I'll remember faces before I do names.lol
Love to all,
Tim Dudley
Tim,
For most of my life my vote has been on the fence for impersonators and the reason why is because I saw one in the late 70's name Bill Haney that was amazing and highly respectable. Suposadely Elvis saw him also and said" This guy does me better than I do!". But, I have seen some that were completely the other way too. You, Tim have given me renewed hope though, because I thought there weren't many, if any, respectful ones left. I believe you are and would gladly attend one of your shows. Your posts are highly respectful and I believe the heart of the man shines through your words. Good Luck and Take care and thanks for giving us a unique insight into this world from a positive point of view.

Got my family, my kids, my books and my music, I'm good, yeah, I'm good.....
Oh wow! Charles, I'm speechless I really don't know what to say other thank Thank You. My grandparents always taught me treat others they way you want be treated back. So I treat everyone with the most-up respect.
I've had many people that come to my shows that go "Oh man not Elvis Impersonator!" By the end of the show tell me they want come back. (Sorry if I sound like I'm bragin'.)
I do this totally out of love, and trust me Elvis's friends and family and fans know too. Charles if I'm ever in your area for show, etc. Same as Diane if it just me or me and my girlfriend Joyce will go out for coffee deal bud?
