MY DEAR FRIEND BUDDY MICHAEL way out in North Carolina tunes in to Jeanne Grebin's live, Memory Brothers' webcast every Wednesday night. He posts Facebook comments in real-time and occasionally requests a song or two.

Bud's latest request was "Rock On And On And On" - a song I hadn't performed in years . . . hmmmm, maybe decades!

Nevertheless I do vividly remember the day that I wrote it. It was August 16, 1977. How do I remember that specific date? Well, it was the day that Elvis died.
