Saying "I know" instead of "thank you" in response to being told you're pretty good is a little egotistical but he's still one hell of a guitar player
They sold six times more quitars in 1956 than 1955. Even though Elvis is not the greatest quitar player, his influence on those that followed can't be denied. The man and the quitar, He became the rock and roll image, the icon.Don't misunderstand this, he's the most important quitar player in pop/rock history.
John was a nice looking guy in his day, I watched Hawaii show so many times I just never picturing him being old.
Time changes all of us, thats for sure.

I got to meet him. I got to sat down and talk to John, even play some guitar and sing for him a bit. He is an incredible man! What a legend!
