I had a brief scan of the articles. I am supposed to be working so will have to return to them at the weekend. Any reason they stop before the Comeback Special? I'd be interested to read your take on the Memphis period.

Thanks for taking a brief look at them. No reason in particular why they stop before the Comeback Special. I'll probably at some point tackle the special and the Memphis sessions of '69. I limit myself to one Elvis essay this year - I'm toying with writing this year about his movie music from '60 to '64, mostly to point out the gems and to wrestle with its legacy (which is mostly not good and understandably so).

Thank you for the reply. Agreed the movie period is fascinating, a case of digging out the diamonds from the dirt! I'll keep an eye on your Substack going forward.
