Charles Stone, author of the Praytome Publishing book "My Years with Elvis & The Colonel", told us the following: Bruce Jackson, a sound reinforcement pioneer and technology developer at Dolby, is missed since the last weekend when he was on a trip with his plane flying over Death Valley. Since he was on his own and so far no sign of life as been received, one can assume that Jackson was killed during a plane crash.

In the Elvis world Jackson is known for his work in the Elvis Tour crew from 1971-77 where he was in charge for the acoustics and the sound technology. Jackson can also be credited for taping dozens of the King's concerts. During the research for Charles Stone's book, photographer Ed Bonja (who works for Praytome Publishing) reestablished contact to Bruce Jackson. A lot of people tried to get in touch with Jackson, but he never gave detailed information about his time he had with the Elvis entourage. After having seen the quality of the Praytome Publishing products he offered to contribute information and pictures from his private collection. These pictures were published for the first time in "My Years With Elvis & The Colonel" which you can order by clicking here.

Jackson also was involved in the works for the upcoming Praytome Publishing book "Elvis on Tour '72" by Ed Bonja. As it seems, Jackson's involvement into this project can not be continued unfortunately.

On June 25th the 4 day event to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Colonel Tom Parker starts. During this event which is organized by ElvisMatters, Praytome Publishing will present the latest release, a book by author Charles Stone.

"My Life with Elvis & The Colonel" is the title of the 128 pages hardcover book that contains the memories of Concerts West's Charles Stone who worked for Colonel Parker and the Elvis entourage in the 1970's.

As always you get an high quality product from Praytome Publishing with unreleased pictures from the archives of Charles Stone and sound engineer Bruce Jackson. Beside the paperwork you will also find a lot of stories and additional information never before told. This is definitively the very first book about "Elvis & The Colonel" that is written by a guy who was there. The storyline is based on Charles' memories, unlike previous Colonel books that were based on false assumptions and fabricated stories told by a third party.

German fans who pre-order the book before the official release date June 29, 2009 and complete the payment will receive a special bonus (free handling and shipment).
