Robert M Wins Reader Of Month Award For Elvis Photos
Lake Martin Voice is proud to give the Reader of the Month award to Robert M for his timely, well captured pictures of Elvis’ performance at Jim’s Bait Shop on Highway 50 on July 3.

Knowing what a huge fan I am, Robert M acted fast on Friday when I sent out this post about The King’s upcoming appearance. When I realized I could not be there in person, I sent out an impassioned plea for anyone to take some pics or video. Al Gore’s “internet” did the job, spreading the word far and wide. They say that Twitter has proved its chops with the Iranian voting scandal, but I say that Elvis at Jim’s Bait Shop trumps that.

Elvis is patriotism in a white jump suit.

I bet he was singing Burnin Love right here.

The King.

Elvis Will Be at Jim’s Bait Shop Tonight At 6:30
As a Lake Martin blogger, and huge Elvis fan, I must say that the above was my favorite headline I have ever written.
For those of you that are hip to the Lake Martin Voice Twitter stream, you have already heard the news.
Tonight, July 3, 2009, the King of Rock n Roll, Elvis “The Pelvis” Presley, will be appearing at Jim’s Bait Shop, on Highway 50 in Walnut Hill, Alabama, just south of Lake Martin.
I am going to try to be there to get some video – but if anyone else can get pics or video – PLEASE send it to me. Or better yet upload it to the I Love Lake Martin group on Flickr. It’s free. Or you can use Twitpic or Flickr 2 Twitter to upload pics and video, just make sure to type in #lakemartin somewhere in the description so the rest of us can find it!
And yes, the above is a picture of the back of the self car wash & and vacuum area at Jim’s. The King will truly be amongst the people.
And, as E himself said in King Creole, “Crawfish!”
