Ger's a big boy. Should he come back, fine. If not, that's fine too. This world will continue to turn regardless. He hasn't gone far. You can bet he's checking in to see if anyone is fussing over him.
Begging someone to come back after they've chosen to leave is very unbecoming. We'll suffer through this tremendous loss together, but we'll overcome.

Ger has contributed a huge amount to The EP World, especially for fans of EP's 50's career.
It's pretty obvious that there is also a lot of jealousy out there with regard to what Ger has accomplished. It's downright sad to see and I've also seen Ger treated like shi* right here on this MB by some of those same individuals (in the past).
I don't blame him for getting tired of it. Tis the way of The EP World, unfortunately.
-------------------------
Have said it before, but it needs repeating again ---> thanks for the great books Ger!
-------------------------
That said - I definitely get tired of the 70's EP always being frowned upon and put down. So, .......... it cuts both ways for others here as well.

Ger has contributed a lot, no question about that, but i don't like it when they use that so they can put down others. Thats pretty shameful, sorry to say, or maybe i'm not. If Ger comes back a bit more polite, then i will ahve no problems with him being on here. However as it stands, his insultive comments are not being missed here

Ger has always been about substance.
Generally speaking, ....... jealousy blinds not only clear vision, but also clear thinking. In other cases, it is simply ignorance.

Did i say i was jealous N8?! There is nothing mentioned in ANY of my posts that even leads to the misconception i'm jealous of Ger's work. I have a great, fantastic life, and it is in no way troubled by my jealousy of Ger's contribution to the Elvis world.
Carolyn, thanks for your comment.

I didn't say you were (jealous).
You fall under the "in other cases" category (which is, ironically, what both posters - above and below your post above - are also trying to tell you).

I agree - he is a cut above the general banality of this board. Ger has done a lot of good work in the Elvis world and his posts are generally informative and entertaining. He is open about his bias - and is usually quite entertaining.N880EP wrote:

Start at Middle C on the piano and go down.Scott Haigh 781990EP wrote:Oh well ok, at least as low as Elvis lol my voice has dropped i tell ya that
If you don't own a piano, download a simple MIDI program for your computer.
I doubt you can sing down to the E that is almost two C's lower than Middle C. That's how low Elvis could go.
Anyway, it's a fun exercise.
