Very cute! Fun reference to the "blue, suede shoes," Janice! Elvis was one of a kind and left his blue, suede shoes for us to remember him! Thanks for the trip to the old record store and spin on the dusty turntable!!! Blessings of health and happiness for the new year!

His fame came with a price but he was a great performer with an unique voice and hips that shook up the world.

Avatar Elvis and his blue suede shoes will be hitting the stage again, I'm told. Priscilla's bank account will be all shook up in more ways than one.
