Hi TCB,
ReplyDeleteI'm the author THE ROCK AND ROLL BOOK OF THE DEAD, THE FATAL JOURNEYS OF ROCK'S SEVEN IMMORTALS (recently released by Citadel/Kensington). One is of course Elvis.
I'm working on a holiday piece about him. How might I access your Dec. 24-25 info? I'd be grateful if you could direct me to any Elvis Christmas info.
Thanks so much for you wonderful, informative site!
