I am the Elvis fan who took to heart at the age of 12, the song Follow that Dream. It was part of the impulse behind the fact that in 1992 I ended up interviewing in a hotel room in Memphis, Tennessee, Ben Weisman who wrote the music for the song, and for 56 other songs - more than those written by anyone else - which Elvis recorded. Meeting your heroes is one thing, but getting to thank them and inspire them is a dream of an entirely different nature and one well worth following!
