A Journey Shared
The DVD from Larry Geller, "Elvis & Larry – A Journey Shared" was released.
From the press-release:
Larry Geller was much more than Elvis Presley’s personal hairstylist. He was one of his closest and most trusted friends - in many ways his spiritual mentor. What Larry shares of Elvis here may shock some people. It will certainly surprise you. Because what you will discover is an essential Elvis that was so personal, he never publicly let it out in words, only through his music. Yet the purity and authenticity of the experiences Larry brings to light will absolutely convince you that you have at last met the real Elvis.
Larry will take you into Elvis’ private rooms at Graceland and his other homes, in hotel suites, backstage and in his plane “Lisa Marie.” He will reveal to you the heart and soul of Elvis in their most intimate conversations. No matter how much you may already know of Elvis, you will come away feeling that you know him far better for having experienced “Elvis and Larry: A Journey Shared.”
