Larry Geller Testimonial

Testimonial from Larry Geller written as a personal email to Leigh.

Larry Geller was Elvis's hairdresser, spiritual mentor and close friend.

He was one of the judges at Europe's Elvis Contest in January 2005 Blackpool, UK.

To Leigh Casling,

I was so pleased when I was asked to judge the Elvis tribute artist
contest in Blackpool, England this past January. And this was no
run-of-the-mill Elvis impersonator contest. You were all well seasoned
professionals, known throughout the UK and Europe as the very cream of
the crop, and the competition those two nights was very dramatic and
exciting. As we approached the semi finals the energy intensified,
palpable to everyone in the room.

As the winner was being announced the room exploded with shouts and
applause - and you, Leigh, were awarded the number one spot! You
shined as an original that night. Your rendition of singing and
dressing as Elvis did in the army years was creative and touched
everyone. I congratulate you; well done!
