I loved my Elvis growing up.

I would always beg my parents to pick me up an Elvis record when they went to a bigger town that had a record store.

Once I took a Greyhound to Graceland and visited Elvis’s house in Memphis and spent the night near there before hopping another Greyhound to Nashville for a Songpreneurs songwriter retreat.

The thing I loved most about Elvis’s music is that he could sing anything – any genre and just knock it out of the park and be right on the money.  His voice had such range.

And the man could move.

They told him he could get up on stage, but he just couldn’t shake his hips or they were gonna have to shut him down.

And what can I say, the women loved Elvis.  Everybody loved Elvis.

Man I miss the King.  Too bad he had to go so early.

Thinking about putting out some new music soon

Now that things are starting to open up a bit, I’m thinking a lot about getting back down to Nashville to record some new music.

Been writing a lot with my friends from Tennessee and Texas U.S.A., and it’s been over a year since my last visit to The ‘ States.

Passing the time with long motorcycle rides with my photographer friend, Sofia.

Here are a couple of the pictures she took last week.
