Dream Come True for T-roy

I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime. Two good friends, Tom & Sue Goebel invited Sandra and I to come visit them at their home in Massachusetts. As a part of the trip, we got to see ELVIS THE CONCERT. No, this was not an Elvis impersonator. This was not just video of Elvis on the big screen. It was Elvis projected on a screen and only his voice along with this REAL band:
Guitar: James Burton
Bass: Jerry Scheff
Drums: Ronnie Tutt
Piano: Glen Hardin
Conductor: Joe Guercio
Male Vocals: The Stamps
Female Vocals: The Sweet Inspirations

It was GREAT! There were times in which I'd subconsciously look down from the screen to the stage expecting to see Elvis. It was the closest I came in this lifetime to seeing Elvis live. Here are some pics:
