As it fell upon a day in the merry month of May, sitting in a pleasant shade which a grove of myrtles made.
I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat.
Apart from Scottish traditional music, I wasn't really influenced by any kind of music. I just basically followed my own instincts.
