Smith, Myrna

[walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes]

Das schoß mir damals in Wels beim Konzert sofort durch den Kopf, als Jerry seitlich an der Wand stand und während er auf seinen "Auftritt" wartete, ständig dem Geschehen auf der Bühne zuschaute und im Takt mitwippte!

Ich musste dann immer abwechselnd von ihm zu Myrna rübersehen und wieder retour. Auch als er dann auf der Bühne war und seine Elvis-Stories erzählte, wechselte mein Blick irgendwie immer zwischen ihm und Myrna hin und her, ich weiß auch nicht warum ...

auf empfehlung einer/s mods habe ich das video hier rein getan, weil es keinen thread für die "sweets" gibt.
als ich das hier fand, dachte ich erst, ich täusch mich.
aber nein, es sind tatsächlich die "sweets" mit ricky nelson, wie sie "mystery train" singen.

Benefit Concert For Myrna Smith @ Elvis Week


Elvis Unlimited is proud to announce that our Back In Memphis concert will be a benefit concert for Myrna Smith of The Sweet Inspirations. Elvis Unlimited was the first to break the news of Myrna being hospitalized in London and then again in California where she presently is recovering.

We now can share some even more serious news about Myrna. She has suffered a stroke and is on dialysis. She will need long term care. Myrna has many medical bills and many more medical expenses are ahead due to severity of her condition. Therefore, Henrik & I have decided that proceeds from our show will go to Myrna to help relieve some of the stress of the medical bills. Right now, Myrna only needs to focus on getting better.

The show is during Elvis Week on August 12 at 8 PM at the Michael D. Rose Theater at the University Of Memphis. Reserved seats are 45.00 US Dollars and includes admission to the mini -convention and silent auction from 6 to 8 PM with special guests Barbara Hearn,Charles Stone, Sonny West, Sandi Pichon, Roben Jones & more.
We have spent the last month reorganizing this show to make this a complete success for Myrna. We have changed venues to a larger venue right in Memphis to accommodate more fans and lower ticket prices. We also will have a silent auction before the show at our mini convention from 6 to 8 PM for ticket holders only. All items will directly benefit Myrna. Come down to the University of Memphis for THE concert of Elvis Week! We promise you a great show and a chance to lend a helping hand to our Sweet Inspiration, Myrna Smith!
Let's show Myrna how much we love and support her! Let's all pull together and help Myrna just as Elvis would do! Let's show the world what the Elvis Family is all about - friendship and support!

Myrna Smith UPDATE

Dear Elvis Fans:

Please share this Email with other fans & fan clubs. I've tried to add Email addresses from your cards, forgive me I missed some.

For those who don't know, in addition to undergoing dialysis, Myrna had a stroke. I visited Myrna 7/25/10 & I'm so pleased to tell you I see an improvement, she looks better, is stronger & more alert & her speech is better than a couple of weeks ago. She is receiving therapy which she will need to continue for some time.

Myrna asked me to thank all the wonderful fans for the cards, notes, pictures, love & prayers she has received from all over the world, it has really helped her. To those who sent flowers, Myrna has enjoyed them & says thank you. For those who have asked Myrna to sign things, please understand that because of the stroke, she is not able to right now. Her friend Diane & I have read her every card & note & she has looked at all of them.

TCB: Several people asked if Myrna needs help with medical expenses. I talked with Myrna & she said that if anyone asked, I should tell them she would appreciate help. An account will be opened specifically for Myrna's medical and therapy expenses, and I will get that information to you when I have it.In the meantime, those of you who will be in Memphis for Elvis Week can help - Megan and Henrik (Elvis Unlimited) have made their August 12 "Back in Memphis" show (6:00 PM) a BENEFIT CONCERT FOR MYRNA SMITH. For information, click here: http://www.pr-inside.com/elvis-presley-r2021501.htm.

I'm going to be honest with you - if we want to see Myrna back on stage singing for us, then we have to do something to help her get the therapy & medical care she needs. We are Myrna's family &, quite frankly, we need something like this benefit concert to get Myrna what she needs right now. Please help Myrna - if you are going to be in Memphis, please support the benefit concert & please tell others about it.

The address for sending cards is:
Myrna Smith
Canyon Oaks Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
22029 Saticoy Street
Canoga Park, CA 91303

Friends through Elvis,

Our friend, Myrna Smith, needs your prayers and your help. I am advised she is currently undergoing dialysis and has had a stroke. To aid in the cost of medical expenses, Elvis Unlimited has generously offered to donate proceeds of a benefit concert on behalf of Myrna. That concert, the "Back In Memphis" show, will be held in Memphis, TN on August 12, 2010.

If you are going to be in Memphis, please support this worthy cause.

Thank you and TCB.

Hello Henrik,

Thanks for sharing the information regarding your concert on August 12, 2010, at the Michael Rose Theater, at the University of Memphis, TN, campus.

I know all the Elvis Fans who plan to be in Memphis during Elvis Week will definitely want to attend the concert.
Your show sounds exciting and it would be great seeing many of the incredible musicians who worked with our friend, Elvis Presley. They are all great guys and the fans will appreciate their music.

Henrik, I am very proud that you are giving the proceeds of your concert to help with the medical expenses of our long time friend Myrna Smith, a group member of the Sweet Inspirations.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Myrna as she recovers.

God bless you Henrik.

Gordon Stoker Ask You To Help Myrna


DEAR MEGAN AND HENRIK
I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE DOING THIS PROGRAM TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP OUR GOOD FRIEND AND SINGER MYRNA SMITH.
MYRNA HAS ALWAYS BEEN READY TO DO A GOOD JOB ON STAGE AND OFF FOR REHEARSALS ETC.
THE JORDANAIRES HAVE BEEN ON THE STAGE WITH HER, AND SHE AND THE TRIO HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.

WE PRAY YOU WILL BE THERE AND HELP US RAISE ALL THE MONEY WE CAN TO HELP OUR BELOVED MYRNA IN HER TIME OF NEED.

Gordon Stoker

Ich hoffe sehr,dass Myrna wieder gesund wird. Habe sie als sehr sympathischen Menschen in Berlin kennengelernt.

[Lakota]

Das ist schon heftig. Für uns die (gehe ich mal von aus) alle Krankenversichert sind eine unvorstellbare Situation. Schön, dass ihre Kollegen und Fans zu ihr halten.

[crawfish]

In USA kannst du dich aber auch privat krankenversichern. Deshalb verstehe ich es nicht so ganz, weshalb Myrna nun durch ihre Erkrankung in solche finanzielle Notsituation geraten ist. Auch wenn eine private KV in USA einige tausend Dollar pro Jahr kostet, sollte sie es sich wohl hätten leisten können.
Ich wünsche ihr jedenfalls alles Gute.

message from larry geller

Dear Henrik,

I've been following the news of the great show that you and Megan are presenting at the University of Memphis on August 12th. Knowing your work, your dedication and creativity - no question that this will be one of the highlights of Elvis Week this year, not to be missed! If the show itself wasn't reason enough, your generous plan to make this a benefit concert for Myrna Smith of the Sweet Inspirations is just the kind of thing Elvis would do himself. She really needs all the financial help and loving support she can get from the Elvis "family."

I visited with Myrna recently, and she was deeply moved and touched by your choice to honor her in Elvis' name. Of all years, a prior commitment is keeping my wife and me from joining you and all the fans in Memphis, but our thoughts and our hearts will be with you. We're very proud of you both, and happy to have you as our dear friends.

Larry Geller

All the Best,

Glen D
