http://www.elvisnews.com/images/various/expo-betty-harper.jpg Elvis artwork by Betty Harper will be showcased at The Center for Southern Folklore, located in Memphis, August 1, 2012 – October 19, 2012 and at the Birthplace of Elvis in Tupelo, Miss., November 1, 2012 – January 15, 2013. In observance of the 35th anniversary of Elvis' passing and in honor of the 40th anniversary of The Center for Southern Folklore, more than 100 pieces of Betty Harper's original Elvis artwork will be on display for fans around the world to enjoy. Since she was first entranced by the magic of Elvis in the 50's, Betty has created more than 10,000 portraits of the king, capturing every period of his life. Although Betty's artwork includes drawings of famous statesmen, entertainers and sports heroes, she has become most famous for her portraits of Elvis. With countless awards and ribbons by the time she graduated from Dreux American High School in France, Betty studied at the American Academy in Paris where she continued to develop as an artist with a style distinctly her own. “The subject matter of my art varies, but my first love has always been faces.” As she grew older, her interest in Elvis intensified. “There was something incredibly inspiring about him. He pushed right to the limit of his potential, always himself, always trying to be the best he could be.” “Every face has a story to tell,” said Betty. “Every time I draw him, I see another side, almost another person. Just when I think I've exhausted all the possibilities, have sketched every angle, every expression, I begin to draw and discover another.”

Graceland Launches ICON The yearlong 35th anniversary commemoration of the life and legacy of Elvis Presley continues in Memphis with the third and largest exhibit launching at Graceland in 2012. "ICON: The Influence of Elvis Presley Presented by Fender" will be open March 1, 2012 through February 2013. Curated by the Graceland archives team in partnership with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, this groundbreaking exhibit features 75 artifacts on loan from the famed Cleveland museum, along with items from the collections of many of today’s biggest names in music who have been influenced by the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The exhibit celebrates Elvis’ status as a music pioneer and icon that paved the way for many of today’s artists and celebrities. Items on display in this exhibit include Bono’s “MacPhisto” suit from U2’s Zooropa performances, Bob Dylan’s leather jacket that appears on the album cover "Real Live,” James Brown’s jumpsuit and vest worn in concert in the 1970s, along with artifacts from Elton John, Trisha Yearwood, Joan Jett, Wanda Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Katy Perry and many others. Grammy award-winning artist Amy Grant, a well-known Elvis fan, gladly accepted the invitation to display her personal copy of lyrics for “Heartbreak Hotel,” handwritten for her by the songwriter, Mae Axton. “The ink is fading on the page, but the special memory of spending time with one of the great writers who gave Elvis a song to sing never will,” said Grant when asked about being included in the unique exhibit. Earlier in 2012, two additional exhibits opened at Graceland. "Elvis on Tour" celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Golden Globe award-winning documentary of the same name. The documentary takes an in-depth look at Elvis’ multi-city tour during April of that year. Artifacts from the exhibit include the producer’s Golden Globe award, jewelry and stage clothing worn by the king during the concerts, rarely-seen photos, videos and more. A new addition to the VIP Tour, "Elvis…Through His Daughter’s Eyes" opened on February 1, Lisa Marie Presley’s birthday, and highlights the relationship between Elvis and his only child. Presley was personally involved in the exhibit’s development and planning. Visitors will see numerous items including family photos and home movies that explore her experience of growing up at Graceland and the relationship with her famous father. Artifacts include Presley’s baby footprints, clothing, childhood tricycle, record player, crib, gold ID bracelet given to her by Elvis and much more. Graceland is open year round with various tour options. "ICON: The Influence of Elvis Presley Presented by Fender" is included in the VIP and Platinum Tours.

No 'Elvis Presley Airport' Despite a petition, despite several requests, despite growing pressure on the Memphis Airport Authoroties, the 'Elvis Presley Airport' name switch is not likely to happen. Marty Lacker just got a very clear letter from Larry Cox the Director of the Memphis airport regarding the new campaign. The letter, published on the EER Website, states: "There are many people, Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King Jr., Danny Thomas, Fred Smith, E. W. “Ned” Cook and others, that have had major impacts on Memphis who are worthy to be considered if it is ever determined that the airport should be named for a person. The Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority Board of Commissioners have determined that the airport’s name should remain Memphis International Airport. Elvis Presley and the other distinguished individuals are recognized in other ways by the airport and the community." Well i think that's a mistake because they should name it Elvis Presley Airport. <_<

March 02, 1955 Elvis performed twice this day; first at the U,S, Armory, Newport, Arkansas, at 8.00 p.m. and after that at the Porky's Rooftop Club, Newport, Arkansas, at 10.00 p.m. These and all of Elvis' other performances during the month were booked by Bob Neal, who continued to push the Colonel for another Hank Snow tour.

Marion answered: "In that order". March 01, 1963 On the set of Fun In Acapulco Elvis complained about the clothes he had to wear while performing "Marguerita", explaining that he would never wear such an outfit in real life. However nothing could be changed because his double leaving the bandstand had already been filmed. March 01, 1965 This was probably the day of the thoughtful interview James Kingsley had with Elvis. Elvis talked at length about how far he had come and what it all meant. "I know what it is to scratch and fight for what you want. I certainly haven't lost my respect for my fans; I withdraw not from my fans, but from myself." March 01, 1970 Elvis performed at the Annual Texas Livestock Show, Houston Astrodome at 2.00 and 7.45 p.m.] After the final show there was a press conference at which Elvis was presented with gold records for 5 of his 1969 releases.

"We have spent hundreds of dollars in at least 3 weeks on telephone calls and have accrued practically no information whatsoever and this must stop", he wrote, adding that things may soon "come to a head, where we will have some proper assignment, whether it be you or someone else where we have a definite immediate contact at all times." February 28, 1968 Priscilla arrived in California with Lisa Marie and Joanie Esposito and her 2 daughters.

Elvis performed at the Annual Texas Livestock Show, Houston, Astrodome, Houston, Texas, at 2.00 and 7.45 p.m. Elvis made a dramatic entrance in an open jeep, but he was discouraged both during and after the first show because of the poor acoustics and what he judged to be an indifferent response from a less than capacity crowd. " I guess I just can't bring it in like I used to", he said between shows. But then his spirits were lifted at the evening show by the great response from a crowd of 36,299 and according to the Los Angeles Times his performance was "masterful".

That was quick :cheer:
