After combining radio frequency
242 waves with locally generated waves of a different frequency produced by the faint emissions of the 243 adjacent receiver, I could produce new frequencies equal to the sum or difference between the 244 combined frequencies. The adjacent differing tuning capacitors and the emissions from 245 them served as a window to an emission form known as single side band with the harmonics generated 246 from the chassis of each receiver. When I discovered heterodyning from the local oscillations of the 247 two receivers it opened the world of Morse code and amateur radio to me. I had created what would 248 be known as a crude beat frequency oscillator with the two receivers. </font></p><font 249 face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font face="times 250 new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">I was an Explorer Scout with emphasis on amateur radio as a young teenager. I began 251 receiving Morse code training from the Navy at the age of thirteen in a special class 252 for Scouts in 1965 located at the Naval Reserve Facility on Avery Road in Memphis. I was 253 awarded a merit badge by the Chickasaw Council of The Boy Scouts of America for being the fastest 254 code receiver in my class. They clocked me at over thirty words a minute before my fourteenth birthday. 255 It helped being a musician because timing is everything with Morse code. My amateur radio license, 256 WK2B, is still active and I'm licensed as "Extra Class" with the Federal Communications 257 Commission. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 258 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">I've also had the great privilege 259 and honor of serving as a civilian trustee for the Millington Naval Air Stations' Amateur Radio Station, 260 W4ODR, and I've flown with general aviation and military pilots at the Millington Naval Air Station 261 flight club. </font></p><p> </p><p align="center"><font color="#ffffcc"><img src="sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/squadronleadership.jpg.w560h433.jpg" align="bottom" alt="squadronleadership.jpg" border="10" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="560"></font> </p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font 262 face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">I completed three years of ROTC and served as a lieutenant in the Civil 263 Air Patrol. </font><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#999999"><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" 264 color="#ffffcc">In addition to flying search and rescue missions</font><font color="#ffffcc">, I attended the United States 265 Air Force Leadership Training Academy in the 1980's while working for a general aviation flight school at Memphis International 266 Airport as an airframe and powerplant student.

If you lived on the 288 campus, then we used a transmission principle known as "carrier current," a method of low 289 power AM radio transmission that uses AC electrical wiring to propagate an AM signal to a small area 290 such as a college dormitory. You could plug your table top radio into any wall receptacle on the campus 291 and hear the station clearly. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 292 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">It all changed 293 when our station license was approved by the Federal Communications Commission which included an effective 294 radiating power increase. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 295 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">We were an all-album 296 station in 1969 which meant that you could play an album in its entirety rather than just a selected 297 cut here and there from the vinyl. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 298 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">The broadcast 299 equipment was quite primitive by today's standards and consisted of early analog equipment, circuits 300 and devices having an output proportional to its input as opposed to the digital technology we have 301 today which, simply put, is a circuit or device representing magnitudes in digits. The fundamental 302 difference between the analog and today's digital signal is that an analog signal is represented by 303 sine waves, a wave whose waveform resembles a sine curve, or the ratio of the opposite 304 side to the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, whereas, the digital signal is represented 305 by a square wave which we all know to be a plane rectangle with four equal sides and four right angles. 306 In digital technology, the analog wave is sampled at some interval, and then turned into numbers that 307 are stored in the digital device. On a CD, the sampling rate is 44,000 samples per second. On a CD, 308 there are 44,000 numbers stored per second of music. This is what we hear today, and even better than 309 ever. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 310 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">Students 311 received academic credit for participating.

316I play music from the period between bebop and the 1960s' and focus on music that blends jazz elements 317 with other musical styles, such as funk, soul, electronic dance music, and free improvisation.

Latin jazz is always in the mix and draws heavily on salsa and merengue influences with its 323 heavy use of percussion, congas, timbales, bongos, and more.

My grandfather had lived in Pretoria, Johannesburg 394 and Durban, South Africa. When he arrived in Memphis, in the very early twentieth century, he still 395 had relatives in South Africa that corresponded with him. I was fascinated by the flora and fauna, 396 the ships and landscape on the stamps on the envelopes. He removed the stamps from the envelopes and 397 gave them to me to study.

No one cared about 414 the bad weather. Something seemed to say that Memphis was awaiting a grand arrival. Elvis couldn't 415 have gotten a finer reception from his hometown. While the bands were playing and the dignitaries 416 were making their speeches and presentations, the crowds grew. Nobody appeared to be impatient. 417 This was a real family show that special evening and the cast of characters was one 418 of which everyone in attendance could have been proud of. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" 419 size="5" color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" 420 color="#ffffcc">At every corner of Graceland Plaza, cables twisted and turned, microwave dishes towered 421 over the heads of the crowds, and nervous production crews checked their lists to make sure 422 that everything had consistency and coherence with clockwork precision. This would be the grandest 423 event of the year for Memphis and the grandest event for stamp collecting ever seen.

The music is the language of many 427 in my Tennessee town. The river flows through this town like a stream of notes from a guitar on Beale 428 Street. Two bridges span the muddy water like strings across the bridge of a piano. 429 That's my Memphis. And on that day, January 7, 1993, it was as though we were all waiting 430 for Elvis to come home. The rich, the poor, black and white, men, women and children, young and old 431 alike, all came to Memphis that day for Elvis. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" 432 color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">Through 433 the many busy hours we prepared for this homecoming not fully realizing the impact it would have on 434 the rest of the world, but at the same time curiously wondering if we would ever do this again. 435 </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 436 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">The countdown to the release of the stamp 437 began on June 4, 1992 with the unveiling of the Elvis stamp design chosen by his fans. The choice 438 for the illustration had been made under the leadership of United States Postmaster General Anthony 439 Frank, who also signed the cover. Postmaster General Frank's tireless efforts to honor Elvis 440 should never be forgotten as Memphis remains grateful to him. </font></p><font face="times 441 new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" 442 size="5" color="#ffffcc">Plans were also being made for Elvis' fifty eighth birthday celebration to coincide 443 with the release of the stamp. A gigantic cake with 58 candles on it had been created. 444 A cake big enough to feed hundreds of fans and stamp collectors! In the Graceland party room on the 445 south side of the plaza local bakeries were delivering truckloads of beautifully decorated birthday 446 cakes with confection designs of the Elvis stamp ready to be perforated by the chefs with their bakers' 447 knives. </font></p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> 448 </font><p><font face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">Balloons were everywhere with 449 streamers and other colorful decorations adorning the ceilings and walls.

One Elvis stamp had been removed from a full sheet of forty stamps 474 about five minutes prior to midnight. I was dazzled by the surrounding excitement and I recall the 475 postal clerk asking me if I was going to pay her. I fidgeted nervously for the twenty-nine-cent 476 cost of the stamp and pulled a quarter and a nickel out of my pocket and handed the 477 change to the clerk. The clerk took a penny from her cash drawer and gave it to me. </font></p><font 478 face="times new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc"> </font><p><font face="times 479 new roman,times" size="5" color="#ffffcc">Adrenaline was flowing while we waited for the order from Graceland executives Laura 480 Ferguson and Shelly Evans standing next to the cancellation machine. I handed Laura 481 my envelope with stamp on it. She placed it on the machine's tray and at that moment I realized 482 my stamp would be the first one to be postmarked by Graceland.
