New site pages
by eddie on Oct.23, 2008, under E
As you may or may not have noticed some changes have been made here on the the website. 
First the “Buzz” page has been modified to allow my guests and fans to post their comments. I plan to also add back the old press and comments as soon as we have the new page wrapped up.
Next we’ve added an Elvis Memorabilia page. This page will be updated from time to time with goodies I’ve found on Amazon and Ebay. Items you may like for yourself or that special Elvis fan in your life. I’ll be posting some of my own memorabilia here on my Blog over time.
Last but not least I’ve received emails from other Elvis Tribute Artists about where I get my backgrounds and Jumpsuits from… and it got me thinking about how I struggled when I started to find the best Elvis backgrounds and the best Elvis Jumpsuits. So I decided to put up an Elvis Tribute Artist resources page. The page is open for anyone (ETAs or businesses / sellers) to post a resource. It’s on your honor and must stay on topic. Any unrelated or unsuitable content will be removed without notice.
I will post more of my favorite Elvis Tribute Artist resources as I find the time.

THE FAMOUS PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SANDWICH
by eddie on Oct.18, 2008, under E
Elvis’ most favorite snack was a peanut butter and banana sandwich
fried in butter. If you’re interested in trying one: Take two slices
of white bread, mash one banana with an equal amount of peanut
butter, fry in a pan with butter as you would a grilled cheese
sandwich. It’s a snack rich in protein and about 750 calories… so I
don’t suggest a steady diet of them!
