4/27 Here is part of a letter I received from ETA Barbara Del Piano she is referring to my contest Reflections 2009 and the start of her career at Reflections 2005. Barb might be retiring from paying Tribute to Elvis but I know her voice will never be silenced as God gave her such a gift that I know she will continue to share it with the world.
I just wanted you to know that the performance at your
contest is the LAST performance of my Madam Elvis Career. I will no
longer be performing. I deleted my
www.MadamElvis.com web site already, and I sold the last of my
albums. I started my career in public with your contest, and I am ending
it the same way. WITH people I consider my family. Barb

LEGENDS IN CONCERT HOSTS ULTIMATE ELVIS® TRIBUTE ARTIST CONTEST™ PRELIMINARIES
3/13 FYI Old music groups would get new protections from impostors under legislation that passed the state Senate on Tuesday. But rest easy: Elvis impersonators should be OK. Senate Bill 226 would hit musicians who perform under another band’s name with fines of $5,000 or more, unless they have permission to do so from at least one member of the original group. The intention is to protect old-time groups from “a sophisticated form of identity theft,” sponsoring state Sen. John Crosby said. “Unfortunately existing law has failed miserably in this regard,” said Crosby, R-Tifton. “For years imposter musical groups have been duping customers. ”Tribute bands wouldn’t be subject to fines as long as their advertising identifies their performance as a “salute” or “tribute,” the bill states. And the legislation wouldn’t outlaw impersonations of performers such as Elvis, Neil Diamond or Frank Sinatra, Crosby said. “All they have to do is tell the truth,” he said. Senate Bill 226 passed 54-0 and moves to the House of Representatives for consideration. http://www.macon.com/741/story/646021.html

03/11
The Elvis TCB Tour bus is part of a collection purchase for a future
Museum exhibit that is in the progress of being put together and will be
located in Tupelo Mississippi. As I am contacting you today, we all know
that the bus was purchased by Elvis Presley, he drove it on a couple of
occasions, Elvis also switched bus's now and then to avoid Fan detection
in his years touring, how many times he did this no one is certain.

2/03 02/03/09 And now for something completely different... from Joan Minnery of the Memphis Motion of Brantford ON CA January 8th, 2010 marks the 75th birthday of Elvis Presley. Fans across the world will be celebrating his Diamond Jubilee. We are jumpsuiting onto the birthday bash train and creating a very unique event to commemorate this milestone in the Presley Legacy. Memphis Motion along with Brantford Parks and Recreation are teaming up to bring the KING back to Brantford, but we have a twist to our event...ours is going to be ON ICE and our event is going to be mainly outdoors. It will be a rocking Winter Elvis Party, where Elvis' legs won't be the only things shaking. We have a pink Cadillac full of ideas for this event and we're hoping to have a whole lotta Elvis related activities downtown throughout the Temple Block. And yes...we'll have some activities inside, for people to get warm and an eventual evening concert and dance. Below is a flyer under the year 2010.
