AT A BEATLE BIRTHDAY PARTY IN MAHARISHI-LAND T HE occasion of Patti Harrison's birthday party and that of jazz flautist and medita-
tor Paul Horn, who shared her birthdate (although some 14 years her senior), was one of the outstanding memories the Beatles, Donovan and Mike Love have of 'heir visit to the Maharishi's Meditation centre. Here then is my eye witness account of the event: The party com menced on the
Maharishi's arrival with prayers for which the co mpany stood and listened silently to the Chanting% of their guru (Indian teacher). All for mality was after Abandoned and the co mpany sang "Happy Birthday " to both Patti and Paul. who gat cross-legged on the stage behind their

placed in the room to allow for the bulge. At fifteen minutes to midnight
Elvis, his wife Priscilla and eight of their friends walked through the Casino of the Flamingo hotel to the lounge and took their ringside seats. I told Tom, who was still in
his suite at the top of the build-ing. "Great." he said almost casually, for nothing can excite or daunt him before a perform-ance. " invite him round after. wards, I'd like to see him again."

song he turned to comment to Priscilla, a broad smile on his face. Later in the act, Tom an-
nounced: "Ladies and tenth, men, we have In the audience tonight a man I have admired for many years, Mr. Elvis Presley."
The audience cheered and clapped as Elvis stood up to wave and lake a bow. Then Tom said jokingly from the stage: "Okay, that's enough — sit down." and everyone, including Elvis, laughed. Seconds bier there was silence as Tom began the hig ballad of his act "Danny Roy." Everyone was cheering wildly
as Tom sang his closing number u It's Not Unusual" and he re-turned to the stage to encore with "Land Of A Thousand Dances," the wildest number he performs.
Screams! Women screamed their delight
and men cheered as he gyrated from one side of the stage to the other. As the number reached its cli max Presley stood up applauding and the rest of the audience got to its feet with him. When the curtains had closed
the atmosphere was electric. Eivli and his party made their way to the stage door entrance and t took them through to meet Tom who was still changing from his stage guff soaked in sweat.
Presley shook Tom's hand on both of his and offered his praise and congratulations. Then he In-troduced his wife with the words
" Priscilla here is a big Torn Jones fan " and he added, chuckling, "but I told ht-r to cool it tonight!"

HREE GOOD REASONS WHY JOHN ROINLES UST BECOME A BIG STAR HERE are at least three reasons why I expect John Bowles to become a
ry big star. The first Is his manager ter Gormley (the "Sir Alf Ramsey " Pop) who has shaped the success ries of Cliff Richard, the Shadows d Frank Meld and yet has remained roughout, morkst, polite, professional dignified — characteristics which
en elude top pop people. e second is Mike Leander, the young man
produces and arranges John's records and a month, prior to " f I Only Had Ti me "
ng released, telling me ho w huge a hit it
uld be-t. third reason is John Bowles ell who. Las staraqualitY ped all over hi m!

With a little luck and another hit he might well be able to shake off those Engelbert Hu mperdinck comparisons.

"I've had the comparisons ever since I arrived here." said John. " but t don't really mind them. First of all it's a privilege to he compared to such a successful art, 1st. There is a resemblance as I've noticed myself when I saw hi m on his TV show.
" Our musical direction la not really the sa me though. Ile has followed up on this slightly coso' try and western ballad approach and although my first nu mber is a ballad my next will be much more up tempo."
It Is • testi mony to John's talent that In • period of approxlmatelY Bye years Peter Gormley has had several offe rs to take on new and establlehed artists but John là Iba first be bra signet
It was last year In Australia that I first met Peter." said John. " He was over there with the Shadows and t was working in a small club.
Tried here "I had • couple of hi m out
there a At The End Of A Rainbow sod • Please Help Me Em Falling', wanted to go to A merica first
but Peter persuaded me the way to do it was from England. Now I'm very glad I agreed." Originally John started out hie
career as a guitarist with a group called the Sundowners.
"I used to buy lust about every. thing that Chet Atkins made and Copied & moat every guitar-run that Hank Marvin has ever played," said John. " You can't imagine how pleased I am to have met hank now and to be sharing the sa me manager as hi m."
John's nld act used to consist of everything from rock and roll to yodelling but his own preference is for emotional ballads that really eay sonic thing.
l• I'm a great admirer of Tom Jones." said John. " You listen to hint and you can tell he gets right behind the feelings of a lyric. 'Green, Green. Grass of Home' is a perfect eva mple of that. He al most makes you feel like crying when you hear it."
Like many other singers John hopes eventually to break Into fil m• and It la there that his real am bition lies. But until that break Is possible he Intends to work to, ward a cabaret career. Stage musicals are another
possibility and while in Australia John was offered the starring role in -- Bye Bye Birdie.'.

ELVIS & TOM (from page 3) m ents (and here w e had a
A• monstration of the w ay Elvis
m oved in his early days) — man
— they just w eren't ready for
m e! "
Then Presley told To m a
touching story: " W hen your
record ' Green Green Grass Of
H o me' w as issued here, the boys
and t w ere on the road driving in our m obile ho me. M an, that
record m eant so m uch to us boys
Fro m M e mphis w e Just n t there
and cried.
" Then w e called the radio sta-
tion and asked the m to play
it again —they did, four ti mes!
W e just sat there and sobbed
our hearts out"
Later, w hen it w as ti me for
the Presley. to go, To m and I
acco mpanied the m via a rear
exit to their car —an enor mous
long, lo w black Cadillac with
darkened windo ws and a m ass of
aerials.
" You see all these aerials? "
said Elvis. " Well, they don't
m ean a thing —they ain't con-
nected to nothing! "
M o ments later the two stars
had parted co mpany and the
m ost m e morable m eeting in the
history of pop w as over, It w as an evening during w hich Elvis
let his hair do wn, openly enjoy-
ing the Jones perfor mance and
later talked openly backstage as
he surprisingly joined To m In •
cigar and cha mpagne.
But w hen you kno w To m
Joncs you kno w a m an in w hose

like that.
