Re: [MOPO] Where Were You 28 Year's Ago Today?

[Captain Bijou]

I was in Louisiana, returning from the Memphis Film Festival. My wife, Wilene, and I had just stopped at a roadside eatery en route and heard the news over the diner's outside loudspeakers.   Ironically, the day before, Snuff Garrett -- legendary record producer, founder of The Nostalgia Merchant -- and my boss for seven years --  and I were with Felton Jarvis, Elvis' producer at the time, who was more than just a bit concerned about the rock & roll king's health and his unwillingness to record. I recall Felton bemoaning, "If he kicks tomorrow, we don't have a thing in the can."  He did and they didn't.   Earl Blair CAPTAIN BIJOU www.captainbijou.com   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom A.

Where were you when you learned 28 year's ago today that Elvis Presley had passed away? That would be August 16, 1977.   Thanks!
