I saw "The King" in 67 at Northern Illinois University. I stood right next to the stage, which was only about 4 ft above the gym floor. He rocked the house. When he was done he held his open palm with his guitar pick to me. I have it.

@d.s.8053

Those concerts at universities were awesome weren't they? They were right there! Cool!

I saw him at air port. One of his roadies sat next to me trying to hold my hand when we hit Turbulence. I was all of 19 headed to Germany. That was early 70’s. Had it been king I would have let him. But he was up in first class. I love him even back then.

I protected his bus coming out of Chicago with my large car.
