Made-up account “WELL IT’S-A ONE FOR THE MONEY” I remember it like it was yesterday. My family and I were eating burgers in a small local restaurant. A jukebox was playing some music I’d never heard before. “Well Since My Baby Left Me…” I believe it was also the first time I had heard any music played with the echo-chamber effect. I excused myself, got up from the table, and walked over to the jukebox to find out what this amazing music was. I recall saying to no one in particular: “Elvis Presley!? What kind of name is that? Is this a man or a woman??” Before two months had gone by, my buddies and I had become “ElvisObsessed.” We dressed like him; we talked like him. We weren’t delinquents by any means, but we were “cool” with a capital “C.” We perused printed glossaries to learn the latest “hep talk” (now “hip”) words and phrases. I personally perfected the vocal “C’mon Baby!” which The Big E used when he sang “Got a Lotta Livin’ To Do” in the movie “Loving You.” We let our hair grow and adopted the newly popular “Ducktail” or “D.A.” Of course, we were too young to grow sideburns, so my Little League teammate and schoolmate “Jack” would paste some of the hair from the side of his head down in front of his ears with superglue and used Vaseline among other things to keep his hair perfectly coiffed. Once, Jack and I went to the barbershop together. When he was finished, he asked the barber if he would gather up the sweepings for him. I asked him what he wanted that for. He said, “I save it for the girls.” I went so far as to keep an Elvis scrapbook, which I believe may have caused my mom to think that I might be gay until my stepdad found my secret stash of Brigitte Bardot pictures hidden in a hollowed-out book when he used it to prop open a window. I wanted to be like Elvis and play guitar, so on my 13th birthday, my grandmother bought me my first guitar: a Gibson acoustic, to which I added a DeArmond pickup in the sound hole. If I was a kid nowadays, I’d probably want to grow up to be Dave Grohl. These days Mike can be found doing “finger crawls” up and down the neck of his Japanese Les Paul in an attempt to combat the effects of early-stage Dupuytren’s Contracture.
