Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
Funny you should say that. I was at home on the sofa, having been told to rest due to high blood pressure, and having just recovered from pluerisy (My daughter was eventually born on 13th september). The Doctors worried me sick cos they said they thought she was going to be a very small baby. She turned out to be the biggest of the lot!

Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
At home, hubby came home with the Daily Mirror (which I still have) and gently broke the news to me, :'( Not long before that I was in Vegas where Elvis was playing at the Hilton, we managed to get black market tickets but mother in law was with us and she didnt like Vegas and wanted to leave, I agreed for a quiet life saying I could see Elvis another time, as it turned out I couldnt. I will never forgive her for that, I loved Elvis. One night with you, hooooooooooo if only

Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
My daughter in law wasn't born till after he died, and she's fanatical about him!
He did just have something that certain something.
Like you I like all kinds of stuff, and I especially think Robbies great. But you can't top Elvis.

Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
I was a child when he died, all the family were fans, and we loved watching the movies as kids. I was at home sat on my dad's knee when his friend came round and told us. He and his wife were crying on the doorstep. It was a miserable few days in our house following that, but we all still sing along now!!

Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
I was camping in Devon with my husband & two sons. I came out of the tent and heard the news on someone's radio. I can still picture the scene. The news spread around the campsite like wildfire.

Re: Were was you the day Elvis died?
When the news broke of the death of Elvis, I was driving a double decker bus along Blackburn Road towards Accrington, listening to the news on my transistor radio which I used to have carefully balanced on the dashboard, I remember there were two ladies who got off the bus in Accrington and one of them seemed to be quite upset by the news.
