Thank you, colonel. Elvis could have heard any or all of those recordings, to suggest otherwise is silly. As it turns out it matters not. The Hillbilly Cat took his blues like he took his coffee. That's white with a touch of sweetenin'.

Pure poetry. I bow before your eloquence.

A favourite of mine!

Apparently Milkcow Blues Boogie was also Parker´s favourite Elvis song.

Thanks a surprise - can't imagine the Col liking this raw classic uptempo blues turned Rockabilly track.

Colonel dug it the most! Either that or Bob was joshing.

No need to bow, Brother! Kneeling will be fine.
