* Elvis Fest 7.

Literally just this minute, Jeff Eats received the “below” press-release…

Seems to me, that going to Elvis Fest 7 could be a whole-lot cheaper/easier than schlepping all the way to Graceland!

On a related subject…

Is it possible that “one” of the many Elvis impersonators-out there…is actually Elvis?

Thank you very much!
