Riding Elvis
November 28, 2010
There are two things that link me directly to Elvis. The first being the fancy fact that my great great uncle Willy delivered Elvis Presley and his dead twin Jesse. He didn’t know the parents had picked out a name for Jesse so he put his own name, William, on the birth certificate. (That is [...]
