Hello, my name is Ginger. I always in the end Elvis had the right name, just the wrong Ginger. I miss Elvis, how about them apples. you know, I have always wondered as much money as he had, that Graceland makes off him, why did they not place him in a cryogentic chamber, so when they came up with new medical advice, they could revive them. I have searched and studied this man very much. He wasn't just a singer to me, he gave me the same aroma he offered to each of us. He gave all of his self to his fans, as they gave it back to him. I remember, when the opening song came on, everyone would take a breath, and forget to let it out for a second or two, and with the house lights cut down, all the flashing our cameras did, was light up the entire room. He has that carisma that drew people to him, they wanted what he had, not the materials things he owned, well probably some people would. He was kind. He was smart. He doted on his parents and loved Gladys to no end. I often wondered what kind of a life he would have had if she had still been alive. He was something that hit this country like an asteriod and tore the planet apart, but it was his time to shine. I don't think he could be Elvis anymore. Its hard when we, and WE did place him on a pedestal, we wanted him pure, to be around him, his llife, but the only part, was at first he wanted it to give his parents to, I don't ever think that he thought it would end up the way it did. Could you do any better if you were in his shoes, I know I couldn't. I do know, that all his shows which he did for months on end, some afternoon concert, an after dinner concert, and a midnight performance, and it went on for months, the way he gave his fans all he had, he would tell his buddies, now these people may not have seen us before so we have to do our best, and they did. I wanted to share this with you, and having to not go out in public, thanks to us, he was in prisioner in his own home. Unless he wanted to spend multi thousands in case he wanted to go there. It was a bad exisentence. Also, he couldn't go out, because of being mobbed. I do know I want to thank him for going through my entire life. He was there at my wedding, singing as I walked down the aisle. He was at my divorce hearing. He was there when my baby was born, he sang at my parents funeral, when I would cry, I would lean on him, listening to the words and thru all songs, no matter when, they all touch some type of my life and it still does today. So, my quote about him is this. When you ever get lonely, place your hand over your heart and there you will always find him. Thanks for reading, Sattgin
