    You bet. I enjoyed it as well. The Stan Lynch quote was awesome.

    DJ was unbelievable. Listen to My Baby Left Me where he changes it up. The bridge is nothing like what precedes it or follows it. In Ready Teddy he keeps adding to every break, building and building his response. Totally feeling it. Yet when you see him perform with Elvis, he’s watching, taking his cues from Elvis, then relaxed looking like it’s easy, like he’s not writing the book.

    Those guys were constantly touring, tightening up. Then they hit like a bomb and nothing was the same after that.

    Rest easy, Mr. Fontana. You and the boys have given me countless hours of enjoyment.
