I was a lucky girl who got to meet Elvis when he was just beginning his career in the '50s. My aunt belonged to a garden club that happened to be meeting at a nightclub owned by one of the members in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Jim Ed Brown, singer (The Browns) was the son of the owner and had Elvis there with him after a performance at the Louisiana Hayride. Aunt Turt took me to the meeting; I was very shy, but got a handshake from Elvis. He was young, very polite and very much a gentleman. I'm a "senior citizen" now, but the old Elvis songs still take me back to the parish hall where we had dances on Friday night, and a lot of 'first kisses' took place. |

Real money and lots of glitzy sequins. |
