Hi Everyone!

Apple has its "Siri", Amazon has its "Echo" and the Harvey's now have a Google HOME device!   Why you say?  . . .  Well it's considered a technological step forward and it only cost 50 bucks!  So far we have been able to get it to tell us the time . . . "Hey Google . .  what time is it?"  It then responds with the accurate time!  

Hey! that's worth $50.00 don't you think?  I'm sure it will do other stuff too which I will learn as soon as I have the time!

Cool lineup this week . . . The Turntable features ALL ELVIS this week.  Don't know why but the song "Teddy Bear" always brings memories of the Manitowoc County Fair.  The Bee Gees are featured on The flipSide.  . . . . Read the script . . . you may be surprised, as I was, to see just how popular they were.  A release from Carol Wergin fills out Skip's Corner this week.  Take a peek at Skip's latest work including the SOTR project.  Oh yea!  We're in it too!  After lunch we stopped by Skip's studio to see the latest project in progress.  Bob Kattner should have been there but had to leave early.  We'll get you next time Bob!  On Suck's News JL shows us how technology has seriously affected our lives.  (The last time I visited Jerry in Gainesville I detected no signs of technology . . . although I did detect a dialer on his cell phone . . . wonder where he got that)

You might have detected a bit of BS in that last paragraph . . . By the way BS does not stand for Biblical Scripture!

​Till Next week / Stay safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!

​Elvis Aaron Presley
[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer-songwriter and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".

​Presley was born in 
Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records.  Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. 
He was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.

​In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in 
Love Me Tender. In 1958, he was drafted into military service. He resumed his recording career two years later, producing some of his most commercially successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were critically derided. 
In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley featured in the first globally broadcast concert via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. On August 16, 1977, he sustained a heart attack in the bathroom of his Graceland estate, and died as a result. His death came in the wake of many years of prescription drug abuse which lead to his poor health and death.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, blues and gospel, he is one of the best-selling solo artists in the history of recorded music, with estimated record sales of around 600 million units worldwide.[5] He won three Grammys, also receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
