“I didn’t have that much done.” Jesse spoke to me in 1997 after he gave me this photo of him taken in 1994.

I am so happy to share tonight that Jesse called and he is feeling well. He has been taking some Ginseng Energy Now herbal supplements for added energy and he says it is helping him. He has remained under stay-at-home restrictions because of Covid-19. But he said that he is going out some this week to see some countryside. He is looking forward to that. As always, his call was a wonderful blessing for me.

I really like the below image which was shared on Facebook:

This is one of my favorite items from my Orion/Elvis/Jesse pages. I just played it for a little pick-me-up. Hope y’all like it too! Be sure to listen to very end of it…the last word is cut out from the fade out at the end of the song…but the missing word is “Elvis!“.
Here is the link to the first page of my Orion/Elvis/Jesse pages:

I have been really busy working on a new project for the last couple of weeks. I apologize that I have not been able to be very active on my site due to this. My work will be ongoing, so please forgive my lack of activity here until I finish my other work.
See what you think of my new logo which is a part of my new project.

It was the summer of 1970, and Elvis Presley, riding high on the success of six record-breaking shows at the Houston Astrodome and his hit “The Wonder of You,” came to Nashville to record.
It was a productive visit, to say the least.
During what came to be known as the “marathon sessions,” Elvis recorded a staggering 30-plus songs in just five days at Nashville’s famed RCA Studio B.
From those June 4-8 sessions came most of the “Elvis Country” album, including the cuts “It’s Your Baby, You Rock It,” “The Fool” and the Willie Nelson-penned “Funny How Time Slips Away.” He also recorded “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” and a cover of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” both of which were included on the November 1970 album “That’s the Way It Is.”
This year’s Elvis Week, set to run Aug. 8-16 in Memphis, will pay special tribute to the marathon sessions.
A concert Aug. 14 on the Graceland Soundstage will reunite guitarist James Burton, bassist Norbert Putnam and pianist David Briggs, all of whom played on the Studio B sessions. The three also will take part in panels and other events.
That 1970 visit to Studio B was one of many Elvis made over the years, including in 1958, the year after the studio opened.
Just a few months after the marathon sessions, Elvis returned to Nashville. A March 16, 1971, story in The Tennessean with the headline “Elvis slips in unnoticed, almost,” describes “35 or 40 women” waiting in the parking lot behind RCA’s studio when a blue deluxe Mercedes arrived.
After Elvis went inside, a bank special investigator, a Metro homicide lieutenant and a Metro patrolman moonlighting as security guards stood outside — along with one determined Elvis super fan, a cocktail waitress named Shirley Hardison.
“I met him once. That man in there,” she said. “He could burp on a record and it would be music to me.”
During this same trip to Nashville, Elvis was admitted to Baptist Hospital for an inflamed right eye. He spent a few days there — during which the hospital was overwhelmed with phone calls and flowers and he had to be moved to another area of the building — before returning to Memphis.
The King ultimately recorded more than 200 songs at Studio B, including “Are You Lonesome Tonight,” “It’s Now or Never” and the gospel standard “How Great Thou Art,” which required only four takes, according to the Studio B website. The album “How Great Thou Art” was released in February 1967 and won a Grammy for Best Sacred Performance.
After two decades, RCA Studio B closed its doors on Aug. 17, 1977, the day after Elvis died. The studio was donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in 1992. Although Studio B is closed through June amid the coronavirus pandemic, these days it hosts school groups and visitors.
I am sure that everyone will enjoy a visit to this article which included a vast number of photos…far too many for me to add here on this page.

I, again, apologize for my absence here on this website. I continue to be working daily on my project which is coming along slowly and is tedious work.
I want to do a little work on here so that I won’t be AOL. Ha, ha!
This photo certainly does make one go hm.m.m.m.m? The focal point of this group of photos is for the “John Doe” who was dead at Baptist Memorial Hospital on August 16, 1977 and for whom Dr. Nichopolous was listed as the physician.

This is an article about a new Elvis-related movie…looks kinda strange!
Elvis from Outer Space Trailer Turns the King Into a Rock ‘n’ Roll Alien
We have a new trailer for Elvis from Outer Space. This B-movie madness comes from the folks at Giant Pictures and Joba Entertainment. In a year that has essentially wiped the traditional summer moviegoing season from the map, lovers of cinema have been forced to turn elsewhere. Namely, whatever options are available from the comfort of home, or at the relatively small number of dive-in theaters open across the U.S. To that end, this bizarre sci-fi flick is making its way to digital platforms next month.
https://youtu.be/5K4MeyQCSCk
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K4MeyQCSCk&w=560&h=315%5D
The trailer is pretty slim on plot and makes it painstakingly obvious that this is a very low budget affair. Cheesy special effects. Costumes that appear as though they were purchased from a Spirit Halloween store. It’s all too clear. That said, the idea seems to be that the Elvis we are following is not the original Elvis Presley.
Instead, this is an alien and that came to Earth to put his skills to good use. The government seems to be well aware that he is not of this world. Low-rent though it may be, there is an awful lot going on in this trailer. Whether or not that is enough to stir one’s morbid curiosity enough to watch the whole thing is a personal matter.
M. Z. Silverman and Tracy Wuischpard co-directed the movie. It seems highly likely that the producers didn’t have enough in the budget to clear any actual Elvis songs. So don’t expect to hear Blue Suede Shoes or Jailhouse Rock on the soundtrack. Though the credits listed at the end of the trailer reveal that Neil Silverman is behind the original songs featured in the movie. So there will be some tunes, for better or for worse.
In Elvis from Outer Space, alien Elvis has left the building. The King of Rock n’ Roll space clone has blasted into Vegas from the far side of the universe to compete in an Elvis impersonation contest against the best in town. But just as he is on the verge of taking care of business, he mysteriously vanishes. Who’s behind the disappearance? The mafia? The CIA? Or the aliens he left behind? The cast includes George Thomas, David Heavener, Barry Ratcliffe, Diane Yang, Robert Miano, Frank Cavestani, Lauren Elaine and Sonny West.
Elvis Presley was one of the most successful musicians of all time and helped kick off the rock music revolution. Beyond that, he was a true pop culture icon who has remained relevant for decades since his untimely passing in 1977. Elvis starred in a number of movies, including King Creole, Blue Hawaii and G.I. Blues. Quite a few movies inspired by the icon have been released over the years as well, ranging from Heartbreak Hotel to Buba Ho-Tep. As for Elvis from Outer Space, it will be arriving via digital retailers on July 7 from Giant Pictures. Feel free to check out the trailer for yourself.

I am sharing the copy of an article from my original website because it ties in with a current movie article which I shall display far below. Just bear with me when I say that there is a connection between my old article and the article about the current movie release and one to be filmed. I posted my earlier article back in 2010 on one of my Orion – Elvis/Jesse pages.
This is the comic book titled
ARMY OF DARKNESS – SHOP TILL YOU DROP DEAD “Hail to the King“
Below you will see that the comic book/movie is copyrighted by Orion Pictures 1993 – 2005 and MGM as well as Dynamite Entertainment, Inc.
Be sure to look about midway through the small print of the copyright text to find Orion Pictures in the greatly enlarged copy below:
Below is a page from the comic book which shows that the “hero” is definitely a caricature of Elvis.
Jesse still enjoys comic books to this very day and so here is a comic book series which became some Orion Pictures movies.
I just now found an Orion Pictures T-shirt from this comic/movie series currently for sale on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-Army-Of-Darkness-Movie-T-Shirt-size-XL-Orion-evil-dead-2005-hail-king-/183791754665
Look at the design on the shirt:
Now see the close up of the copyright:
“Orion Pictures Corporation”

Another T-shirt image
So, as you can see, there was an “Elvis flavor” running through the comic books and the Orion Pictures movies based upon the comic series. This is only a sample…
Now, to get to something current. In the above movies, Bruce Campbell played “Ash” who was the Elvis-looking character. Bruce Campbell also played the older Elvis in the movie Bubba-HoTep as shown in the below excerpt:
Bubba Ho-Tep – Wikipedia
Jump to Cast – Cast. Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley / Sebastian Haff
The comic series Army of Darkness and the Evil Dead series were inter-related. Below is just one instance proving this fact:
Now, at last…here is the current news related to all of the above. Phew!!! Bet you thought we’d never get to this… As you will see, there is a new movie in the works to be filmed as well:
a new movie in the franchise titled Evil Dead Now
Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead Is Coming to Drive-In Theaters Starting This Weekend
- in MOVIE NEWS
In a bit of groovy news for horror fans who value the theatrical experience, The Evil Dead is coming to drive-in movie theaters this summer. The news was announced by Grindhouse Releasing, who will be touring Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic across the country, starting this weekend.
In a Facebook post, Grindhouse Releasing revealed that The Evil Dead will be making its first stop at the Prides Corner Drive-In, located in Westbrook, Maine, this weekend. This is the same company that toured the recent 4K restoration of the movie across the U.S. last year. As of this writing, it hasn’t been clarified if the 4K version is what will be playing at the selected locations. The company had this to say about it on Facebook.
“We are bringing the original Evil Dead back to the Drive-In! Spread the word, 1st show this Sat. nite 6/13 Prides Corner Drive-In, Westbrook ME. Let your local drive-in know you want to see it, more dates coming soon!”
This comes just after it was revealed by star Bruce Campbell that a new movie in the franchise titled Evil Dead Now is happening with director Lee Cronin. Campbell, however, will not be reprising his role as Ash Williams, as he is sticking to his guns. The actor retired the role after Ash vs. Evil Dead was canceled. Taking to Twitter, Campbell promoted the upcoming screenings saying the following.
Be scared AND safe! https://twitter.com/grindhousefilm/status/1270382552625418241 …
Grindhouse Releasing@GrindhouseFilm
We are bringing the original EVIL DEAD back to the Drive-In! Spread the word – 1st show this Sat. nite 6/13 @ Pride’s Corner Drive-In, Westbrook ME @GroovyBruce @robtapert @EvilDeadNews @therealjoebob @StephenKing @joe_hill https://www.facebook.com/PridesCornerDriveIn/ …
Most theaters in the country, as well as around the world, have been shut down since mid-March. While some theaters are beginning to open again, it is with reduced capacity and far from being back to normal. During the last few months, drive-in theaters have become a haven for movie lovers. New horror movies such as The Wretched have managed to have success during this time, but the theaters still largely succeed by showing a collection of older classics.
The Evil Dead is the feature directorial debut of Sam Raimi. It centers on Ash who takes his girlfriend and three friends to a remote cabin in the woods for what is supposed to be a fun night away. Once there, they stumble up the Necronomicon, an ancient book with text that reawakens the dead when read aloud. The group unwittingly releases the evil contained within the book and are forced to fight for their lives.
Made on a shoestring budget, the movie went on to become a success and has gained cult status over the years. Two sequels, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness have been produced, as well as a remake in 2013. Though the remake does take place in the same universe as the original and has been described as a “sidequel.” More dates and locations will be revealed as they become available. In the meantime, you can check out the announcement from the Grindhouse Releasing Facebook page.

I really liked this plaque better with the original spelling of “Aron” before it was changed after the hoopla started over the misspelling on the grave stone.

Below is a very enjoyable video from The Spa Guy. He has interviewed the family of Elvis’ close friend in the 50’s, Eddie Fadal. Their former home is now a Bed and Breakfast Inn so people can sleep in the home where Elvis spent a lot of time.
