Comments:   Hey Nance,
Sorry we couldn't make it to Dewey Beach this year. Heard it was great a contest and the crowd was , as usual, really into it. Wifie and I went to Vegas to repeat our vows...25 years and take in a few shows. The kids, Aaron and Lisa stood up for us. It was great! You know how close our family is. What's up with the talk around town we heard? The Branson contest is going to have some producer who is filming an ETA documentary for EPE? What a chance for the ETA's. Wifie and I will be there and, of course, at your Christmas show. See you then.

Always TCB
Ed Elvis
Response from EEN:   We missed you! You are the greatest of fans! We have been contacted about the documentary - but - nothing is written in stone as of yet...

Comments:   Wanted to say that my mom and I had a WONDERFUL time in Dewey Beach this past weekend. A special thanks to (Nance, Marie, Kathy, Jerome, Ronnie, Kayla, Dwight, and my husband Irv) for making the weekend so much fun and enjoyable. The boat cruise on Sunday night was the perfect ending to a GREAT weekend - good idea babe. Definitely looking forward to it again next year.
Sincerely,
Beth Cass
Response from EEN:   Beth, it was wonderful to spend time with you. The entire weekend was fun - but - I'm glad I wasn't in the tent when it blew down. Anyway, it made for a lot of togetherness in our condos!

Comments:   Just wanted to say that the Elvis Explosion was GREAT once again. Thanks to Ronnie for putting on such a class event. Nice job by The Change Of Habit...you guys sounded Great!

Congrats to Matt on a well deserved win! Matt is such a nice guy and on a personal note.. he has always given me great advice and encouragement. Congrats to all the contestants!

Also, Thanks to everyone who came out for Karaoke hosted my Cherie and myself at the Days Inn. We had a big crowd every night, and we appreciated all the ETA's taking the mic (or I would have had to sing for 6 hours straight!!) It was cool to her all the ETA's sing other non-Elvis songs too. Just goes to show you how talented they truly are! And Irv nice job on Blue Moon Of Kentucky. I've never heard you sing that...it was excellent! There was only one disappointment...I DID want to her Nance sing, oh well maybe next year!

I'd like to thank Cherie for hosting the Karaoke with me and for all her help ie. Makeup (ya I wear it!), Moral support and her encouragement! I owe a lot of my success to her as well as her mom Darlene and Nance. It's been an exciting and fun three years as an ETA. I look forward to many more!

Thanks to all the Elvis Fans coming out and having an awesome time. hope to see you all at The Elvis Fantasy Fest in Portage in October.

Peace Out
Response from EEN:   What a pleasure to see you and Cherie! You did a great job in the contest and for the karaoke. I don't remember a better karaoke session anywhere. You don't want me to sing - I would clear the room!

Comments:   Hello Elvis Fans, I just wanted to take this time to congratulate "George Wagner" for placing no.#1 in the great state of Tennessee! George you are so deserving of all the 1st.place winnings I have seen you receive. I think Elvis would be so honored and flattered that you do such an outstanding performance in keeping his memory alive. We are so very proud when we bring friends to see you for the 1st. time, they're amazed, just as the lady that was from Tennessee told me last night at Mountaineer .."said she saw the real McCoy before and your alikeness to him was astonishing"! We want to wish you much happiness and success, God Bless Always...We love you, Auberta & Gayle
Response from EEN:   It is SO good to hear that George is back to entertaining. We think he's wonderful too!

Keep doing what your doing there is one saying that fits in the words of John Wayne "Life is tough it's even tougher if your stupid."

Irv is such a wonderful entertainer and his voice seems to get better each time I see him! It's almost impossible to tell him apart from Elvis when you listen to his cd. He's my all time #1 ETA and I can't wait till another show. Thanks for everything and God bless! All the best!

Comments:   I was able to make it to the Elvis Explosion in LaCross this past weekend and all of the ETAs deserve a Congratulations each and every one had a good performance. This has been a hard year for me and I really needed the time away, I'm not much of a social butterfly so I did what I do best sat back, relaxed, did a little dancing and just enjoyed watching everyone have a good time. It was so nice to be surrounded by so many fellow Elvis Fans again.
Thank You
Sincerely Debbie

This was new for me and I had a great time and I hope to see you all again. Congratulations to Matt and ALL of the performers. You are all awesome and bring unique qualities to the stage. Special thanks to Ronny Craig for taking me along for this wonderful ride, Curt Lechner and his lovely lady for rocking on in our lounge, all of the Elvi for being here and having fun, and most of, all the fans that follow the show. Let's do it again next year! Regards --- Diana Rusk, Director of Sales - Days Inn - La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Response from EEN:   Thank you, Diana, for the wonderful time we had at the Days Inn. The best part was that your lounge opened into the restaurant and even our underage fans got to watch the jam sessions. We look forward to next year...

Comments:   I traveled with Matt & Veronica to LaCrosse this past weekend and it was a great weekend! Beautiful weather and a lot of extra fun things to do, like the Karoke nights, what a lot of talent and what a lot of fun! It's always fun seeing the guys relax and having a good time sharing their friendship as well as their talent. It's always nice meeting all of the other Elvis Fans and this contest is for such a good cause makes you really thankful for all you've been blessed with when you see what some little kids and their parents have to go through. It leaves a lump in your throat and an ache in your heart for them, but to know that Elvis' music is still helping people like this makes you proud to be an Elvis fan!
The contest was very tense with so much talent in one place. Each and every one of the contestants sang their hearts out for the Elvis Fans. What more could we ask for.
I want to congratulate Matt on his win as well as all of the other winners. You all did a great job!
Hope to see you all again soon.
To Ronnie Craig you do an awesome job putting this all together. Thank You.
Love to All,
Sandy

Comments:   Hello Elvis and ETA fans, family, and friends. I am sorry I missed "Elvis Explosion." Ronnie puts on a great show, and as an ETA it is a great event to be a part of. The EEN treats their people very well. I hope everyone had a great time and that you guys jammed on stage. I had to cancel because I came down with a bad cold. I recently got hired as an English teacher and my students have a habit of being sick (thanks a lot). I was thinking about blaming my cancelization on John Loose, but that would raise too many questions. Take care everyone-I missed performing and partying with you all-Chris Solano

YOUR CERTAINLY HAVE THE VOICE AND CHARACTERIZATIONS OF ELVIS, BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU CONTINUELY STUDIED THE MOVES OF ELVIS AND THE WAY HE PERFORMED ON STAGE. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE THE BEST!! YOUR VOICE IS SO CLOSE TO ELVIS' THAT IT'S UNREAL. MATT MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU WITH YOUR WINS. THE OTHER THING I REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT YOU IS THAT YOU NEVER TALK DOWN ON ANY OTHER IMPERSONATORS AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU TRY AND HELP THE NEW SINGERS JUST STARTING OUT. THIS ALONE TAKES A LOT OF CLASS. AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN IN WISCONSIN YOU TRULY DESERVED IT. AND MAY YOU CONTINUE TO WIN IN THE FUTURE!!!

Comments:   Hello Fellow Elvis Fans,
Thanks to all of the Elvis fans who cheered us guys on, during Ronnie Craigs Elvis Explosion. Everyone in the contest did a wonderful job. It was defiantly one of the toughest ones I‘ve been in. Wanted to say hello to all of the fun people at the Days Inn Karaoke. We also had a great time after the contest. Great job to Curt and Sherry on running Karaoke, it was fun. And special thanks to all of the Wisconsin folks who shared their hospitality with all of us. Also a congrats on the "Change of Habit Show Band" for a great job, nice addition with the new guitar player. Trevor and Travis, you touched my heart. I also enjoyed Dwight and Irv's shows, Irv that peacock suit looks great!!! Special thanks to my wife Veronica a.k.a. Poncho for helping me get ready before the show. Again THANK YOU ALL, I am very grateful for my success a this event. Sincerely, Matt King


On a side note:
There is one contestant in particular I'd like to address. He felt the need to disparage my win in his own public forum. His comments surprised me, as up until they announced the winners, I thought we were friends. It’s hard enough when we are all friends and have to compete against each other, but when one of our fellow ETA's goes against the grain of our brotherhood, it’s just disappointing. I'd like to share a quote from a great American football player, Dan Marino. He once said, "The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself. Nobody can make you a loser." I'm sorry you felt the need to write the things you did. But to me, I thought our friendship meant more.
Response from EEN:   Congratulations, Matt! You are so right - no one can make one a loser - you can only do that to yourself.

Comments:   Hey Nancy,
Just wanted you to know that we ( The Bennett Family) all are okay here in Ponchatoula, LA. We wanted to take this time to thank everyone who called and email their concerns about us all. Brandon & Band were in Las Vegas doing their show at the Stardust Casino when the storm hit. Darren flew home to get things ready here at home for the storm. Two of Brandon's band members lost everything they owned. The lead guitar player (Karol) and the drummer (Greg) and (Donna) his wife are with a home and household & personal needs. They are going to relocate somewhere near Ponchatoula. If there is anyone out there that would like to help them get back on their feet you can bring it to them at one of the shows or mail it to our home and we will see that they get it. All they have left is what they had with them in Las Vegas. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers at this time in all our lives.

Here is our address:

Thank you,

Response from EEN:   Thank God you were all in Las Vegas. That 24 hours before I heard from Brandon was rough. Our hearts go out to the band members that lost their homes as well as all who suffered from Katrina's wrath.
