Читать книгу Following Elvis - Rechey Davidson - Страница 1

Over 40 years ago my wife and I traveled to Memphis to see Graceland and maybe luck into seeing Elvis out making his nightly rounds that we had heard so much about. While hanging around the gates of Graceland, we met a friend in Memphis that had been keeping a diary of the goings on around the Graceland gates and the fun she had chasing Elvis on his nightly rounds. She had moved to Memphis with her family in 1975 and started hanging out at Graceland. She soon was “hooked” on Elvis. She loved being able to see Elvis as he came and went from Graceland to the local movie houses or gyms in town. She told us all about her gathered information and how she wanted to write a book about all the fun she had. I helped her put this all together in a neat little book that sold several thousand copies. That book was I Got Ya, Elvis, I Got Ya. She stopped keeping a diary after that but I didn’t. Recently I decided I wanted to continue reporting on all our adventures because Elvis’ popularity seems to be just as strong as ever. Also, I have hundreds of photos taken at various concerts and I think real Elvis fans would like to see and have some of these previously unreleased photos.

In that regard, I now present the continuing adventures of several people who enjoyed following and seeing Elvis not only on stage, but roaming around his favorite Memphis. I have continued the format of writing used in the original book, but due to Betty’s lack of an up-to-date diary, most of her reactions are fictionalized based on memories and conversations we had at different times. So, in Betty's memory, I have told this story from her point of view. I think you will enjoy this sequel as much as the first book. And now, enjoy Following Elvis!
