Charlie Hodge - 12/14/1934 to 3/3/2006

Charlie was a TRUE friend to Elvis, and passed away 3 years ago today. Mrs. Hodge sells copies of his book on eBay. It's a great tribute to Elvis, and well worth reading.

TTWII - That's The Way It Is - The Complete Works - FINALLY Released

After much anticipation, International has finally released the TTWII Complete Works. It is sold out, but there are a few copies left on the UK eBay site. I picked one up myself this evening for 200 pounds (almost $300 USD). 6 CDs, 3 DVDs of Elvis's 1970 documentary. Definitely worth the money, from all the reviews I've seen.
