How a chance meeting with Elvis in Springfield, Missouri led to a job for a local guitarist
When John Wilkinson was a little boy, he snuck out of his house to meet the future King of Rock-n-Roll Elvis Presley. The young Wilkinson had a strong critique of Elvis’ guitar abilities. Years later, their paths crossed again, and Wilkinson became Elvis’s rhythm guitarist. Oh yeah, Elvis remembered the young boy’s advice. Sean FitzGibbons from the Museum on the Square in Springfield shares the story and has artifacts you can check out on your next visit to the museum.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
