I am probably the only one who loves (or remembers) Larry Hall singing "Sandy." Jim, I cannot believe your wife is named Patty!

I'm pretty sure with the song I put in that everyone has figured out I'm the youngest forum member.

Roger, about 15 years ago, I was contacted by email by a Jim Page from South Africa, who was doing a little project contacting and creating a data base about other Jim Pages.

He said that, oddly enough, 17% of the Jim Pages he had found were married to women named Patty. Another odd thing was a high number of priests and ministers among the group. I told him that I lived a block from a minister named Jim Page, in Calverton, Maryland, and he emailed back that he already had that Jim Page in his data base.

Some people research the weirdest things . . . OOOPS; picked the wrong place to make THAT comment!!!

Herb, I was lucky enough to see Elvis in concert a couple of years before his passing. My wife didn't want to go, but I insisted. His version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" raised the hair on the back of my neck.

He also wore a high-collared jump suit that resembled a Confederate uniform, which was a big hit; the concert was in Tampa.

I've also been lucky enough to play guitar and bass for a very talented local Elvis tribute singer named Johnny Seaton a few times. I love that rockabilly stuff!!!

Because You Loved Me is the song that my daughter dedicated to me at her wedding in September of 1996.

Elvis's renditions of hymns and spirituals are absolutely enough to make you break down in tears. Battle Hymn is especially wonderful.
