Recently I had an interesting chat with Adam Greenaway for his Elvis Now and Then YouTube channel. The video premieres tomorrow on his channel tomorrow. If you watch it carefully, there is a little preview of an upcoming project.
Publicity stated: Elvis Now and Then is proud to present this exclusive inside story behind the making of the Elvis Day By Day books with guest Author, blogger, historian, and Elvis fan Kees Mouwen! The latest Poplar Tunes Publishing release 'Elvis Day By Day 2017 - The Year In Review' return to the 40th anniversary year of Elvis' untimely death, preserving the enduring legacy.
So we're really talking about Elvis Now and Then!
