![]() ![]() ![]() Elvis did know Bill Black’s brother Johnny because they used to live across the street from each other, but Elvis never met Bill Black then because Bill had moved out.I don’t know why that is important, but it seemed significant to me for some reason. “That’s All Right Mama” was Sun record #209.I learned quite a few things this time around I didn’t remember from 20 years ago: Also, I wanted to start this new year off with the ‘Elvis Bible’ as Peter’s two part Elvis biographies are known (just that Change of Habit book came and I had to read it first). As I mentioned, it has been over 20 years since I first read Last Train to Memphis and while I obviously know Elvis’ life story pretty well by now, it is a good refresher for all the little details and what order they happened etc. I excitedly told him I have seven of his books. I was lucky enough to meet Peter during Elvis Week this past August, and he autographed my copy of his book. This was my second time reading Peter Guralnick’s Last Train to Memphis (over 400 pages) I first read it in the 1990s as my second Elvis book (my first was Elvis and Me). ![]()
