It’s difficult to believe Elvis would be 86 today, January 8th. I think back and wonder...if he were here today, how would he celebrate in the year 2021. It’s not really hard as Elvis was somewhat...a creature of habit. I believe he would be celebrating exactly the same way. Having a small amount of his friends, family and his Memphis Mafia all gathered at Graceland. I can almost hear his laugh, see him joking around, and know he would be staying up into the early morning hours... ending at the piano singing gospel songs. Elvis, lost in the lyrics, as if no one was around. Then as the song comes to an end and with a slight smile, turns to his guest and nods with satisfaction as everyone applauds for more. Those are cherished moments embedded in my mind.
Elvis was uncomfortable and a bit shy in receiving presents. Your presence was enough.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Elvis.

There will forever be only one Elvis Presley… A true original. It’s difficult to imagine that he would have been 86 years old January 8! And though he has been gone from this world for many, many years, he still reigns as the king...the greatest entertainer ever to have lived. He still has millions of the most dedicated and loyal fans celebrating his memory around the world! It does not escape me that I am so very fortunate to have seen hundreds of his shows, and to have loved and been loved by the man. This clip of his performance is from the groundbreaking TV special, Aloha from Hawaii, and we had just started living together a few months before. Elvis was and will always be a profound influence on my life… Happy birthday, “Buntyn”wherever you are...💜🙏🏻🎵🕺⚡️

Happy Birth Day E.P. (That's what I called him) I played in your slipstream E.P. I would never have played like I played with anyone else.
Heart to Heart.
