August plays host to two major southern phenomenons: record southland heat index and Elvis Presley week. It was a scorcher the day I sat, heat-dazed behind the wheel, listening to Elvis croon ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. It occurred to me as I stood on the brake petal at a quick amber light, have I ever heard Elvis sing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’? Has ANYone? Oh, shut up! You have not; but whom you may have heard is a rather talented Irish impersonator. ‘The King’ has an LP named Gravelands. A few of those songs will make you double take. Just do your self a favor… keep your eyes on the road while your listening… (ps: wasn’t sure at the creation of this if the famous fried ‘nanner and nutter’ sandwich was made with a creamy, chunky, or mashmellow brand-could any fans help me out?)

funny how elvis didn’t like those things as a kid and that he was severely allergic to peanuts as an adult.. hummm.
and deep fried foods disgusted him like most things.
also he wasn’t a big eater of sweets.

Welcome, Simplesampson!
Thanks for stopping by the site!
Elvis did love the home cooked meals of the south. The famous nutter-nanner combo is a rumour you say? Well, you’ve given some very interesting food for thought, thanks for the scoop!
Come on back and visit.
I do enjoy the company!
