Yes that's right the Elvis Presley. In the 1950s Elvis visited our little Cape Cod village. He loved our church so much that he put it on the cover of How Great Thou Art. I was out taking pictures of our fall foliage and took the picture to the right. It shows two church steeples overlooking a salt marsh. The one on the right is the First Church of Christ. That's the one that was featured.

I do too. I sometimes wonder about his legacy of Elvis impersonators and the like. Guess he had nothing to say about what came after.

@NeldaHoxie Sometimes he hardly knew what was happening around him when he was alive.

@AbbyGreenhill That is sad but true. Sad what happens to the people when they become rich and famous.

Yes he was. My Italian grandmother who mostly loved opera, also loved Elvis.

That is very cool. I have seen pictures of the cover, but I have never seen it in person. I always thought that the church should have one on display.

That must have been great for all the people in your village.
