By searching the "Southern Life" database, I found an article that described a 30 second digitally altered ad that was created back in 2006 which featured Dolly and Elvis sitting in a car together. The scene was taken from Elvis Presley's 1967 film "Clambake".

The advertisement was used to promote tourism in Tennessee.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Jo McDavid on August 18, 2009 at 2:23pm: Ok I found the Elvis and Dolly add that was made. Wonderful what technology can do. Elvis and I were together at TLA when it was in Kingsport. I also found Annelle R. Huggins review of The Eternity Cure. Sounded really interesting. I found it under Information Science & library Issue. The problem was with Portal Hall. I found Halls TN and I found the mythical place called Porter Hall, Tennessee. I hope that is it. The Tennessee Blue Book did not have Portal Hall listed.; ▶ Reply to This

Can I just play with the database for fun now? :-); ▶ Reply to This
