(10,957 posts)He is from Hawai'i and he was just there when they were grabbing people to use as extras.
He is also a musician and got to sit and chat with Elvis for a while during filming.

(30,432 posts)What were his impressions of Elvis?
I worked as an extra once for something filming in Chicago, but my 'big scene', of walking in a crowd in silence didn't survive the cutting room floor.
OldBaldy1701E
(10,957 posts)They both were also big football people, so they had that to talk about while filming. My friend went to the University of Hawai'i, so they discussed that team.

(30,432 posts)You sometimes hear of people encountering
celebrities and being disappointed in them, the origin, I'd guess, of the saying "Trust the art, not the artist", so it's nice to hear a positive story.

(10,957 posts)Although it is silly to expect an artist to be a paragon of virtue or a role model, it is nice to hear when one does not believe one's own hype.

(9,313 posts)I didn't know there were lyrics. I played it in junior hu=igh school orchestra - second violin - eventually I got good enough to be in the first violin section but I always preferred second - and directors were happy tp
have me there. (Good grief that was over 65 years ago.)

(9,778 posts)That doesn't count multiple recordings of the same song, multiple different songs with the same title (such as Midnight Blue), nor does it count anything with the word Blues or any other appendage on the end (like bluebird or blueberry). That's just the song titles with just the 4 letter word "BLUE"

(6,497 posts)Sung by Vera Lynn. With her version of "We'll Meet Again", they were the heart of British WWII remembrances. At D-Day and VE Day anniversaries, Lynn herself sang these numbers at the end of the comemorations until she was well into her 80s.
