The above schedule shows it also scheduled for 10 PM tonight on PBS's main Chicago channel WTTW but it's NOT on WTTW's own schedule BUT they DO list it for tomorrow (Sunday) night starting at 10PM Central. Since it's PBS, there will probably be 2 or 3 breaks to sell related CDs or videos. (Here's the first break right now, 20 minutes in.)

Enjoy!
I wish I could watch right now

I wish you could too.

It was good, but being from the late 1960s, at least 10 minutes of the original show was spent on dance numbers with little or no sign of Elvis on screen. And considering how stunningly gorgeous he was during that period*, that's a darned shame.

Thank you ladies please keep praying we are still hoping for a better day 3 weeks in

Answer is both YES and NO, omitting details for the sake of brevity …

1. YES only 5 percent of the CASH came DIRECTLY from Government. Charles paid the 95 percent of H’s CASH from Cornwall income.
2. NO, it really ALL comes from taxpayers because H got lots of different types of BRF perks derived from agreement with govt, not just CASH.
Cornwall gets unique status from government in exchange for work dome by BRF members.
Further, H got a reduced rate on rent on Not Cott and Frog Cott resilences as a member of the BRF.
And taxpayers paid for his 3 million pound per annum Met police protection.
Elvisfan—- thought about you and your mum today, sending prayers and strength—- hugs to you!
 
Think of you when I see Elvis articles.

AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) published an article in their magazine this month about Pilgrimages in America that have deep personal meaning. They included sites like Ellis Island where immigrants were processed entering the US, Gettysburg Civil War Monument, 9/11 Memorial in NYC, Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii, several others significant to US history, and GRACELAND!

Know the information is not new to a devoted fan, but thought you might enjoy knowing how deep the love for him remains.

The cost of entrance, $82. was a shock to read.
