That's the Way It Is

Throughout the day, host Tom Brown will be sharing songs that did not appear in the DVD Elvis: That's the Way It Is, Special Edition. The new edit of these songs was only seen on the premiere of the special edition on TCM.

About Our Host
As Vice President of Production for Turner Classic Movies, Tom has the ultimate job for an Elvis fan. During his last six years at TCM, he has produced a lot of pieces in support of Elvis themes and festivals. He was executive producer on special segments with Priscilla Presley, Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, George Klein and The TCB Band. He has shot at locations like RCA Studio B in Nashville, Radio Recorders Studio in LA, and inside Graceland. He also was executive producer of the bonus material on the DVD of Elvis That's The Way It Is Special Edition.

He began being a fan of Elvis after discovering the 45 of "Return To Sender" in his mother's record collection when he was way to young to be going thru his mother's record collection. He also grew up in Tupelo, MS, two streets behind Elvis's birthplace and proudly attended Lawhon and Milam Elementary schools.

He saw Elvis in concert at the Mid-South Coliseum on March 20, 1974.

This years confirmed sessions currently include:

Return of the Blue Moon Boys
Louis and Nancy, the children of Bill Black, join Dan Griffin and Susan Graham, the producers of the documentary The Return of The Blue Moon Boys. Louis and Nancy will bring never before seen pictures and memorabilia from Bill Black's early years with Elvis and they have some great stories and memories they'll be sharing. Dan and Susan will discuss their documentary, which is the first comprehensive film about Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana and Bill Black. This presentation will include outtakes and other footage that has never been shown.

Follow that Dream
The objective of the Follow That Dream label is to make artistically and historically important Elvis material available for dedicated collectors. Ernst Jorgensen, author, premier archivist and reissue producer of Elvis's recorded work, and Roger Semon, Elvis expert and COO, Sanctuary Records Group, will share with the audience some rare and never-before-released Elvis recordings that recently have been discovered. They also will be unveiling some plans for Elvis material that no Elvis music collector will want to miss and have graciously offered to take questions from the audience and share their incredible knowledge about Elvis and his recordings. Ernst and Roger also will introduce a special guest, Stanley Oberst, who participated in FTD's latest special book/CD combination entitled Rocking Across Texas. It features new stories, updated old stories, and some especially rare photographs.

Elvis by the Presleys
The Elvis By The Presleys television special, DVD, book and CD project offers a rare in-depth look at Elvis by his family and friends. Find out all the scoop from this exciting project from those who helped put it together. Jerry Schilling, Los Angeles producer and close friend of Elvis, was involved in many aspects of this project and will host this segment. Joining Jerry will be Priscilla Presley's parents Ann and Paul Beaulieu, who were interviewed for Elvis By The Presleys, and Priscilla's sister Michelle Beaulieu Hovey. Michelle was instrumental in the Elvis by the Presleys project, appearing in the on-screen interviews and taking a behind-the-scenes role in the book. As Beaulieu family historian, she reviewed thousands of Elvis-related artifacts, never-before-published photos, and personal items from the Beaulieu and Presley family collections. Michelle met and became close to Elvis when he dated and married her sister, Priscilla. Also, key to the project and joining the panel is Jimmy Gambill (son of Elvis's double first cousin Patsy Presley Geranen), who spent many hours of his boyhood playing at Graceland and has some amazing memories. Included in the presentation will be rare photos and footage not used in the project but fascinating for fans.

All conference details including program and schedule are subject to change.
