Music: The Year in Review — 40th Anniversary Edition

Posted on January 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

I was mulling over possibilities for a good year-end review to write about, and for a second, I thought of reviewing the year’s music. But, that would be ridiculous. I have no idea what’s going on in popular music today. Continue reading →

Posted on April 5, 2009 by | Leave a comment

I hope you aren’t tired of articles about Elvis-connected people who were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because there is one more. Elvis had a lot to do with Wanda Jackson becoming the first queen of rock and roll, as the Hall website calls her.

Posted on January 11, 2009 by | Leave a comment

When Elvis returned to live performances in Las Vegas in 1969, he did two shows a night, seven-days-a-week, for a month, followed by a break of three or four months.

A complete MGM film crew was on hand to do the filming for the documentary movie, That’s The Way It Is. Continue reading →
