A thoughtful, passionate essay that could benefit the Graceland experience--if the powers that be are open to suggestions for enhancement.
When I prepared the Elvis 1956 presentation for the library and a mobile DJ convention, truly stunning the acceleration of Elvis' ascent from living at home, Louisiana Hayride, and packing the gear in a station wagon and traveling the South to gold records, movies, controversy, hysteria, and #1 hits. In such a compact time frame. Unfathomable. Only the Beatles in 1964 is remotely comparable.
In 2013, I had a gut feeling that the Summit High Boys' soccer team had a chance to win the state title for the first time. So, I started clipping articles and collecting OSAA standings and rankings after each game and assembling in a scrapbook. They won the state title. And, at the awards dinner, each player and coach received a copy of the scrapbook.
In my parents' garage, my father had a newspaper clipping of an article and photo of he and his brother with the largest sturgeon caught that year in the Bay Area prominently featured on the wall with his rods and reels. You noticed it when you walked in.
Not quite the same as a digital scrapbook. Thank you very much.
