I just would like to say my mother, had bought tickets for Elvis, at the Augusta , show, in Maine, that's right Maine, I remember her crying sooooo hard, she played all his records all day long, we , as little kids, were like why, are yo sooo upset, it's just Elvis, but what we would come to realize years later, he was an icon, and her idol. love you elvis, live on,Lorraine from Maine, 04930
