Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

...wow, 1977!
ReplyDeleteIt was so long ago!
DeleteIf I wrote "I'm all shook up" over this anniversary it would be too tacky, right? I remember this day.
ReplyDeleteNo, not tacky at all. A tribute! :)
DeleteLove it! What a voice!
ReplyDeleteThe man was one of a kind.
DeleteElvis was a remarkable singer. My big sister had records of his songs, and we all loved listening to them! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love his singing in King Creole.
DeleteSaw this and it made me smile! I love Elvis Presley and this is such a great song 😁. Happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteHe's especially special here in Memphis ;)
DeleteI was a little too young to be captivated by Elvis. This came out when I was seven. I was the perfect age for the Beatles to steal my heart on Ed Sullivan when I was thirteen. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was 3 when this came out lol I discovered Elvis in elementary school and then the Beatles in 3rd grade. The music of our childhoods :)
DeleteI never got into Elvis any more than I got into the Beatles. I got interested in rock when I learned about what we now call Classic rock and I call my favorite era, even if it was before my time. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see Graceland in person.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with Elvis being a local favorite. He loved Memphis, and we loved him back :)
