Tasteful? Mmmm, not so much, but definitely lavish by a country boy's (and typical 1960s) standard. The irony is that his estate has earned more money selling his memory than he would have ever been able to imagine.

And, the ubiquitous pictures and busts of Elvis. I suspect that those went into the house after his death. I don't know about you, but I would not want to be confronted constantly with images of myself in my home.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-71749382133697673542014-04-28T10:25:26.025-05:002014-04-28T10:25:26.025-05:00Garish, I think...

One of the musicians played with Elvis and tells the story of how Vernon once threw up in his trumpet.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-88954392307076816512014-04-28T09:29:33.420-05:002014-04-28T09:29:33.420-05:00Thanks for sharing these.
