Are You Lonesome Tonight, Part One
Not long after that, Bernie had the ukulele out and was playing Are You Lonesome Tonight. Not singing; just playing. I love when he plays the ukulele! So did Suzie – I could tell from the expression on her face.
“Aren’t you going to sing?” she said.
“Well, uh,” said Bernie.
Come on, Bernie – sing! Bernie’s got a great voice, maybe not like Elmore James or Hank Williams, two of our favorites, but still pretty good. He played a nice little run, and then opened his mouth to sing, but at that moment there was a knock on the door. Bernie went and opened it, and there was Lieutenant Stine. Has he come up already? I know he’s important in Thereby Hangs A Tail. Is that in the stores yet? There’s so much to keep track of!
Lieutenant Stine has a hard, thin face, and watchful eyes, and doesn’t smile much. He wasn’t smiling now. “Need a word with you, Bernie.”
Note to Diane B.: Elvis Gospel is on XM/Sirius Radio Sundays at 8 AM.

Diane – Bernie says he has his own channel there. Elvis 24/7, whatever that means.

I've forgotten who Stine is.

Elvis is on Satellite Radio?
Darn!
What could Stine want?

I'm hoping Stine's going to ask about the gold bar and the plane crash…

i think that satellite radio would also become popular in the years to come because of its great coverage area .'”
