For those fans living in the UK and wishing to attend the Exhibition then it may be worthwhile looking in your local newspaper. My local newspaper covers the Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes areas and they are advertising day excursions by coach for £45 per person. Of course this is more expensive but for those who cannot drive or cannot get about easily then this may be an alternative way to see this Exhibition. So check your local paper for any such offers. For those fans living in the said areas and are interested in using this service then you can ring 01908 68 36 76. Brian

Reeling and Rocking (9 p.m. - 10 p.m.) Sound of Song Episode 2 of 3 Musician Neil Brand explores the magical elements that come together to create great songs by recreating some of the most memorable and innovative recording sessions in music history - from Elvis's slap-back echo in Memphis and the Beatles' tape loops at Abbey Road to Phil Spector's Wall of Sound and the Beach Boys' pop symphonies. He shows that all this was made possible by the discovery of magnetic tape by an American soldier in the ruins of WWII Germany, the invention that, more than any other, drove the emergence of the music studio as a compositional tool and the rise of the producer as a new creative force shaping the sound of song. Elvis: 'That's All Right Mama' 60 Years On (10 p.m. - 11 p.m.) Actor and musician Sam Palladio hosts a musical tribute to Elvis Presley, 60 years to the day from when he recorded his first single That's All Right at Sun Studio in Memphis on 5 July 1954. Sam traces Elvis's story from childhood poverty in Mississippi, where he had to make do with a broom for a guitar, to the moment when, by accident, he ended up recording the song that changed the history of popular music. There are performances of the finest Elvis tracks from the likes of soul legend Candi Staton, LA duo the Pierces and country star Laura Bell Bundy. Brian

I was always under the impression that Graceland was the 2nd most visited home after The White House. Apparently not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_Estate It has a million visitors a year according to this article. EPE also casually mentioned this on their website recently. Brian

Very sad news. Met him once when we were both interviewed by the BBC regarding the first 'Elvis The Concert' shows in the UK and he was a thoroughly nice guy. Condolences go out to his relatives and friends. He was a great talent and will be sadly missed. Apparently he died in his sleep this morning. R.I.P. Joe. Brian

Apparently it is Elvis. Brian

New to me. Hopefully it is genuine: https://www.facebook.com/120333094643459/ph...e=1&theater Brian

I attended the Elvis Exhibition at the 02 in London yesterday and loved every bit of it. Fantastic to see all these artefacts after so many years of looking at them in magazines and on film. Such good value for money at just over £20 a ticket including VAT. My only gripe is that on entering the 02 Complex, the Exhibition is not signposted anywhere. If you turn right on entering and go down the restaurant section the Exhibition is about two hundred yards down on the left. Apparently, since my attendance yesterday, the 02 Shop are now selling the Brochures and online at: http://www.bandstores.co.uk/shop/elvisatth...prod=EATO2_0020 Those attending WILL LOVE IT!!!! Brian
