"My Way" Detroit chapter

My Way Group Video

There were several individuals in the crowd last night from the Detroit chapter of the Melvis Fan Club. Mel put on quite a show for them, pulling out all the stops. In a rare move he invited the VIPs onstage for his traditional closing number, "My Way", and had them sing along. Despite their vocal enthusiasm, I think you would agree that Melvis' voice clearly shines through them like a bluejay among pigeons. A robin among crows? A parrot among vultures? I don't know, it's late.

Melvis On-Camera and Up Close

Here's a little Melvis up close and personal. He riffs on beer, women, cigarettes, and just about everything else under the sun.

This one is a must-view!

The Melvis Interview, Pt. 3

This is the third and final installment of the February 23 talk I had with Melvis. Sorry it took so long, but it was worth the wait.

Melvis Interview Pt. 3

Here we have Mel discussing how he puts his passion into his music, emotions, his thoughts on Frank Sinatra, and his high school entertainment experiences that shaped him into the great performer he is today.

"Tell me this: what guy you know who's 60 years old could do what the f@#% I can do onstage? Not many."

So there you have it. I have other interview material that will be archived until it's needed in the future.

St. Patrick's Day Celebration 1

M-E-double L-I, V-I-S spells...Mellivis?



Well, we all drank green beer and enjoyed a special Thursday night show at the Hoffman Palace Ballroom. Green beverages were had by all. Melvis really got into the spirit, as did everyone else (including Frankie...obviously).



Melvis sang really well, doing some of his standards as well as a special treat to close the show, a showstopping "Danny Boy". Melvis thought the show went so well, he passed a hat for the beer fund. No one was seen making a donation.



By the end of the night, the crowd was really going crazy every time Mel sang. So much was the response that Mel got really choked up by how much the crowd loved him. What a great Irishman.

Dancin' Melvis

On Saturday many of us were treated to the Pilsner girls at Hoffman Lanes passing out free beer. While many of the men in the audience were staring fondly at these lovely ladies, Melvis was puttin' on the Ritz.

Here we see our favorite 60-year-old moving like he was 59 again. I tell you what, Melvis could be my teddy bear any day of the week. "Thank you baby!"

The Keychain

Anyone who has experienced the Melvis knows what a fashion conscious person he is. Always dresses sharp for a performance, and he knows how to accessorize. What I would consider the mainstay of the Melvis outfit is his distinctive keychain. Always worn on the loop of his pants, the keychain jingle lets you know when greatness has entered the room.

Well, as a visitor to the Melvis Fan Club, you now get the inside scoop on the constituent parts of this unique artifact:




Moving counter-clockwise from the left, we see that Mel has his priorities in order. First and foremost, we need food to live. We see that he keeps his "Jewel-Osco Preferred Card" and his "Dominicks Fresh Values Card" at the ready. It's really no surprise that Melvis has memberships to these exclusive clubs.

Another elite group is the "Ace Helpful Hardware Club". Not being a member myself, I don't know if this is the type of club Captain Caveman carried or if it's a membership group, but certainly when you have the massive fame that Melvis has, a large club might be helpful in fending off the fans.

Next, we see how hip the Melvis is with his stylish "94.7 the Zone" bottle opener. When Melvis sings, he sticks to the classics, but as for cruising in his ride, he rocks out to the newest rock around.

Rounding out the key cards is a "Speedway Speedy Rewards", the bronzed "Firestone Mastercare" card, and "Schaumburg Automedics, inc."

We assume that the keys are to his house, the Escalade, and the Porshe, but Mel's personal belongings remain a closely guarded secret. So next time you see him, give him a nod and flash your Jewel card. Members only.

This-N-That, March 05

I would like to apologize to all the loyal websurfers for not posting any new content this month. We have been under a strict gag order from the Michael Jackson trial. There have been some unconfirmed reports that Melvis was one of the dancers in the "Thriller" video, but again, because of the gag order we are not at liberty to discuss this.

During this silent time, I've been transfering files to a new server, so hopefully you will not notice any difference in the site's performance. I can tell you that we'll be able to upload much more content now with the new server, which is good news for everyone.

There is a new podcast out on the internet waves called "The Unemployment Line" (www.unemploymentshow.com). It features all three members of the executive board, myself, Frankie, and Greg. While we will be discussing many different topics in this podcast, there is a weekly segment dedicated to Melvis and the fan club, so feel free to listen in.

I've already added a "Quick Links & Downloads" sidebar on the right for quick access to all your favorite Melvis Multimedia. I'll be posting like crazy these next couple of days. I will have the third and final installment of the Melvis interview, some more on-camera interviews, pics, and a whole lot more. I appreciate everyone's patience here at the website. Get ready for a great time!

the Melvis Interview Pt. 2

Here's installment 2 of the uncensored Melvis interview, conducted Feb. 23, 2005.

In this segment, Melvis shares his infinite knowledge of the Three R's:

- Spelling
- Mathematics, and
- Rambling nonsensically.

No, really. You not only get to witness his unique spelling of the word "Karaoke" and his Pentium-like speed at computational tasks, you get other hidden gems. And FJV sounding gayer than ever.

Comments welcome!

On-Camera Interview

Here we see a randy Melvis professing his love for his art form...Karaoke. The words mean so much more coming out of a man whose face has seen years of trials and tribulations, the ups and the downers, the pain of forgotton loves, and survived.
