    This MAY not be "HISTORY", in the REAL sense of the word, but, - silly, as it may seem, - I would LOVE to get my hands on the WHITE, "EAGLE" suit, that was worn, by Elvis Presley, during his 1973 "ALOHA" concert, from HONOLULU, Hawaii. Whilst WEARING that garb, Elvis broke MY heart, by singing my FAVOURITE song, of ALL TIME, - Mickey Newberry's arrangement, of the wonderful "AMERICAN TRILOGY", - a combination of THREE songs, in ONE. To THIS day, - THREE DECADES on, - that song STILL sends a SHIVER down my spine, - and, all-but REDUCES me, to a QUIVERING WRECK!

    At the END of the show, the great man took off the CAPE, and hurled it, into the AUDIENCE! I BELIEVE that it WAS recovered, - but, I am NOT, ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, of this.

    Source(s): To a DEDICATED FAN, like ME, - actually, OWNING something, that once BELONGED to the man, they call "THE KING", WOULD be FANTASTIC.

    I have a clay flask that was used to hold olive oil. It is from Ancient Rome and is 2,000 years old. So in a way, I do own a piece of history.

    I already own a piece of history, my life from 1941-2008 plus all the rest to follow. It goes with me to my grave. It's a secret history you see.

    The manuscript of The Gettysburg Address, surely the greatest "short speech" in history.
