This novel is based on the life of Elvis Presley, specifically the last 8 years from 69 to August 16, 1977, the day of his death. Written from the perspective of Elvis' guitarist, it highlights the musical creation process, El's (a nickname some of this friends used) love for his fans, people in general and the problems he faced in the final years. It takes readers to Memphis, Tennessee, Las Vegas (Nevada) and many other places the singer toured in his lifetime. This book is for anyone who has ever had an interest in Elvis and the lives of popular artists. It gives the great vocalist the love and respect he deserves and also examines the real cause of his death as perceived by Jimmie, the guitar player. It is based on stories the writer heard from 1978 - 2022 from close friends and associates of Elvis, including Bill E. Burke, Charlie Hodge and Vester Presley. You'll feel as if you were part of his entourage, traveling and playing with the man. Sample readings are available on Facebook at "Long White Limousine Forum."
