Was just wondering if anybody was planning on travelling to 'Elvis Week' early next month in Memphis?

Does anyone know if any Jimmy Ellis / Orion tributes are going/planned?

Would be great to find out, would make my year!

If anyone has any news, please let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/woohoo.gif)

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Phil. Welcome to TKC.

I was hoping to get there this year, but work just won't allow it. Hopefully next year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused.gif)

The first i went to Graceland (2002) i said that it will be the first and only time that i am visiting Garceland.
Since that day i have been 3 times and if al goes well, i will be going back next year.

I hope to go one of these days but I've been holding onto that hope for a long time now

Johan, I think the reason they are going to do a tribute to Jimmy during Elvis week may be due to Jimmy performing down there while he was alive during Elvis week. Also with the 10th anniversary of his death being last December that might be another reason why. Though this is news to me about there being a tribute to Orion because I belong to the yahoo group and have heard nothing about this.....
