March 29, 200619 yr Author It was great to hear what Gale Norton said about Elvis and his achievements Made you so proud of him and proud to be an Elvis fan! :cheer:
April 2, 200619 yr :( It keeps saying 'connecting' Went to Gracelands in '94. Was really suprised at how small the front was but once inside it was huge. :( Really wanted to go upstairs....but can understand why we couldn't. Loved all the museums across the road and going on 'Lisa Marie' Would love to return one day.
April 2, 200619 yr Author Hi SF :D Good to see you Sorry about the link :( it was working, but will check it out again. You're right,Graceland is a fantastic place to visit, I loved it!! The reason that you can't go upstairs, is because when Elvis was alive, the upstairs part of the house was his private quarters and only those he invited to do so, were allowed there. I think they are continuing this tradition. I guess people would like to see it but I think it should be kept out of bounds with respect to Elvis. There are big plans to expand on the area across the street, in Graceland Plaza. There will be a new museum called Elvis After Dark which will have many items whch have never been seen before ;) http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=773 Thankfully, there are no plans at all to alter the house, as it's perfect as it is :D I only went last October, but really want to go back too! I'm really hoping to go back next August for Elvis Week as it will be the 30th Anniversary of Elvis' death and it's going to be huge!!
April 2, 200619 yr 30 years.....incredible......his music is still so alive it's so hard to believe he isn't.......
April 2, 200619 yr Author It is hard to believe that it was 50 years ago that Heartbreak Hotel was released :o :dance:
April 3, 200619 yr Author Way before my time too ;) But I would give anything to have seen him live, in the early days, or maybe when he made his comeback in Vegas, in fact I would have loved to have seen him live, anytime :dance: I met people in Memphis who were lucky enough to have seen him live in concert and they all said he was amazing!!
