Professor Samuel Slote is to give a lecture on Elvis "The Sun King" on the 15th February 2011. Elvis famously recorded whole albums at the legendary Sun studios in 1954.
Dr Samuel Slote an American usually concentrates his attention on Ireland's most famous writers such as James Joyce and Samuel Becket etc.

The growing amount of scholars such as Dr Vernon Chadwick (See Elvis Conference programme above) and Dr Peter Nazareth now addressing Elvis Presley's career is phenominal. We mere fans from the '50s look on with great interest and not a little amusement. Are we not the real 'experts' on Elvis?

Discovering Ireland

A view from on top of a mountain that you can drive your car up on Achill Island county Mayo Ireland. My wife, Maureen and I had fun building the pile of rocks early one sunny morning last year.

A visit to the Irish Emigrant Forum may be a good idea as a lot of photos and stories about Ireland are being displayed.

Reading about the fascinating life of Ludwig Van Beethoven is always a pleasure. Now to select a symphony to listen to this morning! It will be much better than listening to Dr Phil! :-)
