Step into our wayback machine to Sept. 5 1987. We opened and backed Johnny Harra at a concert in Granbury, Texas. He is a very personable and professional person on and off stage. Johnny was chosen to play a 42 year old Elvis in the docudrama movie “This Is Elvis”. For more information, videos and music his website is http://www.johnnyharrathelegend.com
Johnny has also worked with Conway Twitty, Glen Campbell, Jack Green, The Kentucky Headhunters, Brenda Lee, Jewel Akins and many more.
The musicians that night were from left to right, Truman Hudson, Bob Hudson (lead guitar), Joey Phillips (drums), Greg Ladesic (bass), Oliver Mowet (keyboard). The backup vocals were Joe Fleming and Kelly.
This was recorded on VHS by a relative up in the loft next to the spotlight, and the sound you hear was picked up through the camera mike across the auditorium. The tape was about gone due to age, and the video doesn’t look very good at full screen.
For the people who were there that night, and the ones seeing this for the first time……….enjoy.

I have been going to Graceland at least twice a year since 1991, so I have been there approximately 30 times (I KNOW!!). In any case, I have a fairly comprehensive collection of photos that I thought some of you may be interested in, whether you have never been to Graceland, or if you have been many times. EPE has plans to totally change the set up now, except for Graceland itself, so Graceland may actually not be this way for long. THIS IS PART 1 OF 4.

Part 1 of 4 includes:

Gates/Front of House/Grounds
Foyer/Hall/Staircase
Living Room (can see into Music Room)
Gladys and Vernons Bedroom
Dining Room
Kitchen
TV Room (basement)
Pool Room (basement)
Jungle Room

I have used a recording of Elvis at the August 30, 1974 3:00 a.m. show in Las Vegas with this video. See See Rider, a dialogue, and Big Boss Man are on this part. This is available on a CD called Elvis-Night Fever In Vegas

Kashmir – Graceland from the album “The Good Life”.

Lyrics:

I wish I lived in graceland
but I only had one day
a postcard from the main land
is all I have today

forty thousand million
and a rolls royce engine
couldn’t take me anywhere

yes I tried with aspirin
and a nice calm weekend
but my heart has left me here

I wish I had that skin tan
that you are born into
they’d see me as a warm man
just like they’re seeing you

forty thousand million…

I drown in my drool
over all the goodies that they get
I drown in a pool
in a pool of my own sweat

forty thousand million…
Send Graceland

This film tells the story of Paul Simon’s landmark 1986 album, Graceland. Recorded in New York and South Africa, Graceland not only sold 14 million copies, but it was also named Album of the Year at the 1986 Grammy Awards. It brought the sound of South African music to audiences around the world. This acclaimed film shows how a career setback for Paul Simon precipitated the inspiration for Graceland, how he learned so much from the South African musicians he met, and how, in collaboration, a triumphant album was created.
