This episode in this ongoing Substack series is about a variety of things, the first of which concerns my ongoing musical education. This was like a supernatural message. I’ve been a student of rock ‘n’ roll since I was a youngster. I remember, clearly, when I first heard Elvis – I was having lunch with my mother in a diner in Hillside, Illinois. He was singing “Don’t be Cruel.” I was eight years old, going into the fourth grade. Elvis – the pre-Army Elvis, not the impostor that came out of the Army – changed my life.
