Charlie lived at Graceland and sang harmony with Elvis at most of the tours in the 70s. he was on the 68 special with Elvis and he was one of the the guys that Elvis could call a True Friend. What a fantastic life he led !

I read many, many years ago, Charlie could sound just like Festus Haggen from Gunsmoke. Charlie could do those hard limericks (TONGUE TWISTERS) that Festus had done on the show. youtube; Festus Haggen--how do you know the feller wrote the reading right. . . . youtube; HILARIOUS; Festus Haggen/Ken Curtis from Gunsmoke. . .So, if I'm reading the writing right, but the writing was written wrong, then I'd be reading the writing wrong, or reading the wrong writing right, right? youtube; Festus and Dr.; Is the doctor doctoring on the other doctor, doctors the doctor getting doctored the way the doctor doctoring on the doctor getting doctored to doctor. "E L V I S" W O U L D L A U G H S O H A R D, every time Charlie started talking like Festus Charlie should have done a video of those tongue twisters, he done for Elvis. TCB with Elvis' & Charlie's TLC. :) :) I also WISHED Charlie would have gotten to do (one) those tongue twisters on Elvis' LIVE ALBUMS :) :) OR on the ELVIS TALKING ALBUM :) :) :) :) :)

Really, Festus?

[@crystalhanson1483]

"Well"? As I stated above, I READ this same Information from the 1970's through 1990's. Web Site: Elvis Australia under Interview(s) with Charlie Hodge and Elvis Information Network under Interviews with Charlie Hodge. . .I APOLOGIZE because Charlie doing Gunsmokes, Festus character WASN'T MENTIONED :( :( SORRY. I checked under Charlie Hodge's book. . .on-line Reviews and the Fans didn't mention any JOKES, just stated his book was FUNNY with all the FUNNY stories and Jokes they played on each other through the years. DVD & youtube: The Elvis I knew by Charlie Hodge; didn't mention any specific "jokes" he DID AT GRACELAND to up lift Elvis' moods :( :( Charlie did call his self Elvis' Court Jester and could do, say things to break the BORDOM while doing the Movie, on the rode doing all the live concerts. The other things Charlie was supposed to have always told, was Elvis like watching Gunsmoke? CAN'T find that either--SORRY! It was Bonanza and Elvis had his picture taken with Loren Green and Dan Blocker :) BUT! There is a web site that states Elvis liked watching LAUGH-IN--"WHEW". One web site asked a question IF ELVIS WAS THE "black smith" on Gunsmoke? "No"! That was Elvis' stunt-double, Lance LeGault, who played the character "Oregon". Season 20, Episode 2 under IMDb. It's the LAUGHING Elvis story that has been mentioned a lot. Charlie mentions a little of that story on youtube; when he was in Europe. With Charlie's Southern Accent, and on those youtube videos; Charlie says he runs from one FUNNY story to another AND HE STARTS LAUGHING SO HARD AND CAN'T TELL THE STORY/JOKE and runs out of time. YES! I can hear Charlie doing Festus' tongue-twisters from Gunsmoke. Some Fan will make a comment ONE DAY about that :) :) @@kennethcurtis1856
