Why not ijnvite Larry Geller to that EP event. Man he can tell some great stories about our King...and knows a lot of fans who appreciate his friendship and professionalism! He should have written a book together with Charlie Hodge with anecdotes and special moments lived together with the king of all american icons on this planet. Also invite Kathy Westmoreland, please, and where is Linda Thompson and most of all LisaMarie maybe she could sing: And I loved him so, or Where did he go Lord, Without him, etc) C'mon be more creative Todd and Jack! You can do it. If only you would listen to the good and innovative recomms and suggestion of serious fans and marketing gurus that have made other brands famous in the world. Don't think you know it all ! You don't.
