July 2011 Elvis Auctions — Part 2
Mid-September seems like an odd time to post a blog about an auction of Elvis items that took place back in July, but there have been reasons for the delay. Nothing big related to Elvis was in the news this week, so let’s look at some interesting Elvis things that changed hands at the auction. Continue reading

Elvis' High School Memorabilia
A few months ago, I wrote an article for Elvis International magazine titled “Elvis’ High School Yearbook.” A copy of this highly desired collectible was sold at an Elvis auction this summer, and the auction website showed pictures of every Elvis reference, picture, and signature in the yearbook. Continue reading

Writing With Wertheimer
Alfred Wertheimer is sometimes called the godfather of rock & roll photography, and he well deserves the title. As a struggling twenty-six year old free-lance photojournalist in New York City, Wertheimer’s good fortune gained him access to Elvis Presley during that first, heady flush of fame in 1956. Continue reading

Julien's — More Elvis Memorabilia Auction Results
Last week we looked at the flashier Elvis items that sold at Julien’s Music Icons auction. His clothing, jewelry, and guitars always draw the most attention. But, there were many other interesting items that also deserve a review. Continue reading

Highlights of the Latest Elvis Memorabilia at Auction
It has been a lot of fun following the most recent batch of Elvis goodies that were offered at auction. Bidding closed last Wednesday night on 278 Elvis items at the Gotta Have Rock and Roll Auction, and as usual there were several interesting developments. Let’s take a look at the hits and misses, as well as my choice for the biggest bargain. Continue reading
Sergeant Elvis A. Presley
We can assume Elvis was very proud of his promotions during his two years in the Army. He was promoted to Sergeant in February 1960, so let’s commemorate the 50th anniversary of this event with a look at his rise through the Army ranks. Continue reading
CAPTION CONTEST #12 — WINNER
We have our first two-time winner. Jean Plye, who won with a poem caption a month ago, has done it again. Thanks, Jean. Very clever. When a child claiming to be Elvis' son showed up, Elvis wrote this on the … Continue reading

SO, HOW WAS ELVIS WEEK?
I don’t know how anyone else in Memphis could have had a more Elvis-connected experience than I had. Over a three-day period, I had breakfast with Joe Esposito, sat ten feet away from Priscilla at the restaurant in the Peabody, and hung around in the Grand Ballroom backstage area with Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, the Jordanaires, and the TCB Band. Nobody else did that. Continue reading

MUSINGS ON ELVIS WEEK 2005
Memphis was very hot during Elvis week this year, but it didn’t seem to slow down any of the hardy folks in town to celebrate. In spite of there being no significant event to honor (like the 50th anniversary of “That’s All Right” last year), we had dozens of cool events to choose from. Continue reading
