Lesson 15 My name is Dave Kingham. I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands. I've been an Elvis fan for the last 34 years and been coming to the Elvis do's for the last 20. I'm Janet Bisland. I'm from Mansford in Nottinghamshire and I've been an Elvis fan for 38 years. (DK) "It's Now or Never" was one of the earliest records I'd heard from being a youngster. It was obviously something that was on everybody's lips at the time it came out and he was at the peak of his career. (DK) Obviously Elvis, I think, at the time, was going through a period of change. He knew he had to change his routine from a rock star into a pop star and it was to appeal to a much wider audience, I think. (DK) Both my sons are here - the eldest lad's 29 and the other one's 27. The younger one is probably the bigger of the Elvis fans. He's been to the conventions along with me for the last 13 years. I haven't forced it down his neck - it's very easy to try to say that you've got to be an Elvis fan, but, no, he literally, he picked it up from me and has enjoyed it ever since. So it's been good fun for us. In fact, I'd miss it if it wasn't there, without question … The people it's brought together, not just family and friends. I mean, it's literally, it is one big family. |
