Presley, Elvis/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer practically anything regarding Elvis' life, music, concerts, and films. Sorry - I cannot answer questions about worth of collectibles (including music).
Experience in the area
I have read extensively about Elvis' life for over 20 years and own dozens of books regarding his life, concert tours, and recording career. I also finished 2nd in an Elvis trivia contest (by one point) held across the street from Graceland in 2002. I have personally spoken with Scotty Moore, Millie Kirkham, his Commanding Officer from the Army, and one of his cooks.

2012-02-08 tour bus:
Hello Jim - To the best of my knowledge, Elvis did not use any kind of bus until the early to mid '60s. While touring the South in the mid '50s, Elvis and the Blue Moon Boys would go from gig to gig
2011-07-19 Elvis's shows:
Hi Stephane, It is largely estimated that Elvis did close to 1,100 shows between July 31, 1969 and June 26, 1977 (have not run across an exact number, though 1,081 sticks in my head for some reason)
2011-07-13 Elvis' pets:
Maybelle - Tough to find a lot of info on Domino (most of everything out there pertains to Rising Sun) but here's what I know: Domino was a black Tennessee walking horse that Elvis bought Priscilla
2011-06-19 Elvis live DVDs:
Hi Tobin - I imagine you're thinking of the concert film "That's The Way It Is" from 1970... his shows were at the International Hotel (later to become the Las Vegas Hilton). He usually did a dinner
2011-05-22 O Sole Mio:
Bobby, If Elvis ever recorded "O Sole Mio", the recording hasn't yet surfaced. The closest we have are concert recordings in the '70s where Stamps tenor Sherrill Nielsen would sing "O Sole Mio" first
