"His truth is marching on."
"So hush little baby, don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, soon be over"
July 14th, 1973 via satellite from Honolulu:
"Elvis Presley, focused, tireless thru 25 cuts before the
penultimate tribute to the Southland. The fierce melding of the negro spiritual, and the sacred anthem of the Confederacy, driven excitedly by Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic. Presley, foreshadowing his own demise All My Trials leading in to the solo of Dixie by the flutist, who nervously delivers his work under the impatient stare of Presley. Presley, angrily imploring Tutt, the drummer before finally commanding J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet to initiate their haunting wail to the South, while Presley himself takes this American Trilogy on into the ages."
The 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death is August 16th."
