Elvis and I met in 1948 at a music class in Hume high school. When he moved up from Tupelo to Memphis, luckily for me we were in the same classes.
Elvis and I were buddies. We bonded in the eighth grade. I'll never forget the music teacher, miss marman. She said one time that instead of studying music, we were going to have Christmas carols. So Elvis raised his hand and asked if he could bring his guitar in and sing.
So the next week, he got up and sang old shep and cold, cold icy fingers. At that moment I was blown away because I'd never seen a kid get up in front of people and sing like that.
Subconsciously, I knew there was something happening with this guy.
