It's been a while since we've posted here sorry.
Last week I was honoured to be interviewed by Samantha Santana, a graduate student out of Bard Graduate Center in New York City. Samantha is taking a seminar on collecting and collectors where she has been looking at different collections ranging from the fine arts to a gallery created by a New York City sanitation worker of items he's discovered over the course of his career!! My wife often tells me my collection should go out with the waste water, I wonder if that's the connection being made here!! ;-)
Samantha has been watching Elvis on platforms like YouTube since she was at middle school and shared with me that she was "completely entranced by his voice and stage presence". A fan herself with a small collection of Elvis records of her own, it was great to chat with Samantha and share my passion with her.
The interview is broken into two parts and is unedited, you can watch both parts of the interview below. You'll also see my son Dave in the call as he helped set it all up.
It was a pleasure to speak with Samantha and I wish her all the best with her studies.
