August 09 - Elvis’ Karate School To Be Demolished

The building which housed the old Tennessee Karate Institute (TKI) on the Corner of N. Cleveland Street and Overton Park Avenue was purchased by the Jehovah’s Witnesses Assembly which planned to demolish the building. The current lease holder has been given 12 months notice to vacate the premises before work begins.


Conversation With The King



The book 'Conversation With The King: Journals Of A Young Apprentice' by Elvis Presley's stepbrother David Stanley was announced with a December 2011 release-date. 


From the publisher:


“Conversations With The King - Journals of a Young Apprentice is a book about the extraordinary lessons that my stepbrother Elvis Presley, the private mystic and healer, taught me during my seventeen years as his young apprentice. It is also about the equally important lessons I learned from witnessing his titanic struggle between his most authentic spiritual self, his private demons and his feeling imprisoned by the public icon he had become.


This is the one Elvis story that has never been written because I’m the only one who could tell it. Only now do I at last understand that story well enough to share it in ways that will be healing to many, perhaps including you.


Why does Elvis continue to hold sway with millions around the world for reasons they don’t understand, even 34 years after his death? Conversations with the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice is your doorway into the secrets behind that mystery.
This book gives you never-before-available access to the wisdom and gifts Elvis never openly discussed in public. The untold stories each chapter contains revolve around a life lesson that invites you into discovering your answers to the mysteries of your life.
You’ll be enthralled by the messages this book illuminates. And regardless of whether Elvis means something to you, this book’s lessons are for all who seek to become more authentic, wise and enduringly happy.
These lessons may well transform your life. They certainly transformed mine. And they continue to do so to this day."
