Subject: RE: Parody: Are You Lonesome Tonight
THANK YOU Lonesome EJ for setting these folks straight! Everyone has favorites and singers/musicians they can't stand, but what we are talking about here is the single most important musical figure of the 20th Century in America, no matter what your preferences. And by the way, Easy Rider, Elvis was quite a passable guitar player on rhythm- of course, the tasty leads were all Scotty Moore. Check out the last concert he did before he fell apart- it was "in the round", he was dressed all in black and surrounded by his side-men, and he was utterly superb, including his guitar playing. Back to the thread, I love Alex Beaton, and hope someone is able to track down the parody lyrics.
