Are You Lonesome Tonight?

I love Elvis.

I'm listening to Elvis on my ipod right now.
I think I might name my first child Elvis- boy or girl. Elvis is a cute name for a girl, right?


Okay, maybe I wouldn't name a girl Elvis.

I first started listening to Elvis in high school- high school in Malaysia, not Provo High.

During art class, Mrs. Butler would let us listen to whatever we wanted when we were working on our projects. There were two students in the class so I got to choose the music a lot.

One day, we were listening to Elvis when Loh walked in. Loh and Mrs. Butler were good friends, he would often stop by to visit.

Loh was one of the security guards that worked at the front gate of the school letting people in and out. In fact, he was the head security guard. I found this picture of Loh online-it's amazing the stuff you can find using Google.

Loh was a big fan of Elvis too. He told me which movies to see and which Elvis movies not to bother with. Loh even made a mixed CD for us to listen to.

From then on, every time I saw Loh at school he would mention something new about Elvis. Or he would sing.

  1. I was also listening to Elvis this morning! I was thinking about my mom and how the other day she had said "your grandmother died on November 17 1977, 3 months after Elvis. It's a damn shame."

    Thanks MOM!
