Elvis has left the building. When I first got to Memphis almost 30 years ago my wife worked by former friends of E. I learned a lot about the guy listening to them talk about how Elvis would just be the cool friend. Only had a little more money than everyone else and didn't let that get in the way.
The description the blog follow up had sounded close to what the man was like. If you liked to sing, my wife is a diva so I heard a lot of those stories, he would have worked with friends and family getting opinions on what was right as well as what needed to be fixed in a song. Or just sing with everyone as long as they could through the night. That being said he worked his craft like we read about Edison because at that time he was making or rewriting music theory.
