Eddie Graham was the guy's name. He played the kettle drums in the Guercio orchestra. During the intros Elvis joked that "he makes crackers on the side" :lol:

Hi!

Eddie Graham even has a homepage, that also mentions his work for Elvis: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/eddiegraham/

An interview with him could provide interesting background information on the musical environment in Vegas ca. 1970 as well as pleying with Elvis.

Regards,
