Elvis- Love Me Tender

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.

The Story behind the painting.

If you have watched some of my other videos you have noticed I sometimes use common objects in an artistic way. I do this because many types of art are far removed from the average person. Creating art with things people come in contact with in their daily lives closes that gap.

So the idea for this piece came from…what else…eating cheetos. My fingers turned orange and I noticed it created an accidental mark on my clothes. From there my thoughts went to fabric as a surface….poof…it made me think of velvet paintings. The Virgin of Guadalupe, Unicorns, and probably the most famous incarnation of velvet painting. The Velvet Elvis. It’s kitsch. It’s cheesy. Thus a Velvet Elvis painted with cheese puffs.

LYRICS:
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I’d blow my next month’s pay
for a slice of Texas cow

We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
And they don’t give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can’t make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers

But we can’t make a pass
Cause they’re all wearin’ signs saying:
“Keepen sie off the grass”

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse
