If it was just me and Elvis one on one, which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him, it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy... easy laugh, nice guy.

One of my real goals was to hear someone whistling a song I'd written.

Bought all the Beatle records, I sounded just like Paul.

First time I saw Elvis was at the Lubbock County fairgrounds in Lubbock, Texas. He was on the back end of a truck. There was about 1500 screaming kids.

I worked for a publishing company in Hollywood.
