Memphis Music

From Memphis Daily News ...

In Jerry Schilling's new book, "Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley," Memphis music is as much a central character as Schilling himself, the youngest member of Elvis' famed Memphis Mafia.

The book, packed with stories of Schilling's 23-year friendship with Elvis, was released nationwide last Thursday.

"I owe so much to Memphis music, because it has been the soundtrack to my life," Schilling said by phone from a hotel room in New York City last week, in the midst of a whirlwind publicity blitz surrounding the book.

He's definitely not the only one who feels that way. While Memphis music has been the soundtrack to his own extraordinary life, it's also the literal soundtrack to no less than four separate local projects at the moment.

Among projects highlighted in the article: a cable TV show, The Hanged Man, and two major Hollywood films, one in wide-release now and the other to come soon.
