totally amazed me. First she kidnapped me from going to work....Then she
and the kids brought me to a beautiful family celebration dinner at
Maggiano's (with our Parents there) I had no clue...Then my wife and I
went to see my Bro's band METAL ELVIS at Club Red, and unbeknownst to
me, Liz's little helpers...Heather, Rochelle, Ron, and Angry Jon Lorenc
(who was debuting his new band "The Boulevards" way to go Jon very good
band) set up the club with balloons and decorations and a super cake
(thanks Heather). Kudos to my Keyboardist Dave for rounding up everyone
and their ladies, It was great to see everyone there and thank you for
the gifts La La, Paul, Michelle, Shara, Bonnie, Debbie, etc...Well it
wasn't over yet because then we were off to Las Vegas the next morning,
WOW what a wife...VIVA ELVIS, Frank Calliendo (thank you to my buddy Rob
Kaz Production manager for Lance Burton he took care of us) Rob and his
lovely wife Doreen met us Sunday morning at the House of Blues for the
Gospel Brunch. Next we went to the Imperial Palace to the exhibit called
"The Kings Ransom..." some of Elvis personal items were on display. This
collection was very cool and we had the Distinct pleasure of meeting one
of the nicest gentleman ever....Jimmy Velvet, he was a personal friend
of Elvis' a genuinely kind soul.
