When George Klein was an eighth grader at Humes High; he couldnrsquo;t have known how important the new kid with the guitarmdash;the boy named Elvismdash;would later become in his life. But from the first time GK (as he was nicknamed by Elvis) heard this kid sing; he knew that Elvis Presley was someone extraordinary. During Elvisrsquo;s rise to fame and throughout the wild swirl of his remarkable life; Klein was a steady presence and one of Elvisrsquo;s closest and most loyal friends until his untimely death in 1977. In Elvis: My Best Man; a heartfelt; entertaining; and long-awaited contribution to our understanding of Elvis Presley and the early days of rock rsquo;nrsquo; roll; George Klein writes with great affection for the friend he knewmdash;about who the King of Rock rsquo;nrsquo; Roll really was and how he acted when the stage lights were off. This fascinating chronicle of boundary-breaking and music-making through one of the most intriguing and dynamic stretches of American history overflows with insights and anecdotes from someone who was in the middle of it all. From the good times at Graceland to hanging out with Hollywood stars to butting heads with Elvisrsquo;s iron-handed manager; Colonel Tom Parker; to making sure that Elvisrsquo;s legacy is fittingly honored; GK was a true friend of the King and a trailblazer in the music industry in his own right.From the Hardcover edition.

Ultimate Keyboard Chord Book (Piano)By JudyI do like the book very well; it probably is above my level of understanding at this point. but Im figuring it out. If Id had more piano lessons and theory. that would help. But its helping to fill in the gaps. I think that someone would have to be at intermediate level or above to be able to use it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Nani MedinaAWESOME BOOK!!
