I don't know if Elvis ever played the mandolin, but my favorite Elvis song, Surrender, has mandolin in it.

Elvis was a huge fan of Bill Monroe. Tried a lot to sing like him. Not sure about the mandolin, tho.

What are you talking about?!!! He still does play the mando. In fact, I saw Elvis playing a mandolin just last week, in person...across a crowded space in the local mall, but clearly it was HIM--hasn't aged much either. Am I supposed to report this sighting somewhere?

Elvis doing Blue Moon is way cool.
See my Elvis film: "Elvis, That's The Way It Is" tonight on TCM
The mando conect is me the producer

He'd probably only know a couple mandolin chords anyway.:sleepy:
