HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY to Elvis Presley. When he turned 11, his mother Gladys took him to the Tupelo Hardware Company Store and bought him his first guitar: A 1947 Kay flat-top K19. He’d play this guitar throughout his school years and at his first Sun recording session. Also on this day: In 1956 his double-A single “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog” went to #1 and stayed there for weeks. Fast forward to 1993 and the United States Post Office issued an Elvis Presley stamp. 

Sidebar: 1n 1976 David Bowie demo’d the song “Golden Years” with Elvis in mind to cover it (for unclear reasons Elvis nixed it even after making a demo). Rewind to 1960 when Elvis recorded the song “Black Star” (later re-titled “Flaming Star”). That song directly inspired the Black Star theme of Bowie’s final work, and it’s remarkable that Bowie was also born on the same day as Elvis.

In 2022 Baz Luhrmann released the ELVIS film, a biopic that most people think “got it right,” portraying Elvis as channeling Pentacostal church rapture with juke joint energy into one voice, one vibration. He looms over me, be it through mindful study or cultural resonance—in 1989 I named my back-up The Rover Boys after the surname for The Million Dollar Quartet a.k.a Elvis’s legendary 1956 jam session with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. Like many professional musicians, I started with cover bands playing in bars, and I’m certain I’ve learned many Elvis hits + in my solo set I do gospel songs that he favored.

Elvis’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” is based on “Plaisir d’Amour,” a 1784 French chanson by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, re-written by hit-making team Hugo & Luigi w/George David Weiss. The lyrics are informed by poet Alexander Pope and Bible verses. I always enjoyed the tune, but when I heard Bob Dylan cover it, I became inspired to play it. Dylan gave it a gospel flair, and that triangulation with God’s love is what I aim for when I do it. Here’s my cover of it with stories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEeb6uPiQWI&t=217s Meanwhile, HB EP

This Kay guitar sounds crazy ! Although I am a bit disappointed it didn’t have a integrated smoke machine. • • • #kayguitars #regentsounds #fuzz (at Regent Sounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODG4E0M3g9/?igshid=47tv3zf3ohko

It's #FunkyFriday at #Folkway, friends! OK...would you believe "Fun-Kay" Friday at Folkway? 😄 . This funky 1961 #Kay Jazz II was spotted at @folkwaymusic in Waterloo, Canada. . Dig those fret inlays. Dig that pickguard. Dig that headstock! Folkway's website describes the #JazzII as Kay's top of the range #thinline #hollowbody that replaced the #BarneyKessel signature model after the Kay and K ended their business relationship. With Gold K "Kleenex Box" pickups, and Bigsby B6, this guitar is a somewhat rarer variation with it's natural finish over figured maple and full "Kelvinator" headstock. . Love. That. Headstock. (check out Folkway's website for close up shots of that confoundingly beautiful headstock!) 😄 . . #kayguitar #kayguitars #kayjazzii #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitar #tone #guitargear #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #guitarphotography #gibsonguitars #fenderguitars #vintagegibsons #vintagefenders #gretschguitars #vintagegretsch (at Folkway Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aI7jNBdvO/?igshid=1a3f26st09d0i

I walked in and they were just snuggled up like this. Adorable. Harmony and Kay Baxendale conversions with 10 years worth of songs. They both need bridge work but still adorable. . #doctortime #guitarsofinstagram #iwillneversmashyou #playslinky #guitardoctor #kayguitars #harmonyguitar #customguitars #refurbishedguitar #baxendaleguitars #acousticguitar #acoustic #friends #siblinglove #guitarconvention #harmonyandkay_conversions https://www.instagram.com/p/ButQXMWgggY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kwyh9rkb5p3p
