Topic: history

i've played in several bands over the years; lead, rhythm, bass and vocalist (not all at the same time) since the day Elvis died, i've been solo. funny thing is, i remember that my first solo gig was the day he died, but i cant remember the date....i'm no Elvis fan.


i just put this up here so i dont have to look at that rdr909 tag (or whatever it is) thank you for reading.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: history

hi beamer,

i didn't say i didn't like elvis, he's just not on my favourite list. i like some of his songs and i do quite a few in my set. i respect other peoples choices and elvis, along with the beatles, dire straits, buddy holly etc get included.

my wife, every time she sees an elvis film or something always says "good man gone waste" ah well
