ELVIS' FORMER GUITARIST TOURS GRACELAND

John Wilkinson, rhythm guitarist for Elvis Presley and original TCB Band member, visited Graceland on Thursday, April 14. Wearing the TCB gold necklace given to him by Elvis, John shared wonderful memories of his friendship with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. John first met Elvis when he was only ten years old and snuck backstage at a concert Elvis was featured in. Years later, the two re-united when Elvis handpicked John to be a part of his TCB Band.

John will be a special guest at the 2011 Elvis Week celebration in Memphis during the Conversations on Elvis event on Sunday, August 14.
