ELVIS AND DOLLY

TRADER RICK TOUCHING THE STEINWAY IN RCA STUDIO B WITH A GATOR GAL IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE. ELVIS PLAYED THIS PIANO MANY TIMES and Studio boss Chet Atkins refused to sell it to him, at any price. (priceless)

TRADER RICK WITH ELVIS ON BROADWAY, DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE...

JUNIOR WITH THE PIANO IN RCA STUDIO B THAT CAN BE HEARD ON OVER A THOUSAND HIT RECORDS...

It is 7:59 a.m. and 40 degrees out. Patrick and Junior are in bed in his room.

Here are some photos from our Nashville trip.

This Grand Piano in Studio B can be heard on Elvis Grammy hit How Great Thou Art and among others, Jim Reeves' He'll Have To Go(Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone), Porter Waggoner's Green Green Grass of Home, Charley Pride's Kiss an Angel Good Morning, Dolly's megahit I Will Always Love You, Roy Orbison's Only the Lonely, Waylon's Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line, Don Gibson's I Can't Stop Loving You.

Our tour guide told us that a young songwriter, Dolly Parton, was heartbroken when she had to decline Elvis' offer to record her I Will Always Love You because the contract gave him 50% ownership of the song. Years later, when Whitney Houston recorded the song for the soundtrack of the movie THE BODYGUARD, Dolly's royalties from sales of the record reached over 2.5 million dollars, somewhat easing her pain...So it Goes.

He who laughs last, laughs best.
