Love Makes the World Go Round

Love is in the Air: ETA Michael Paul Callahan

Q.  Who are the important women in your life?

A.  My grandmother was tops my whole life.  She’s passed. My wife Connie is important in my life.

Q.  What men have had a positive influence on your life, and in what ways?

A.  Have to say, while we never met, Elvis. A terrific role model. My best friend, Bob Woodward, and Pastor Brown Naik are true examples of Christianity and brotherly love for all.

Q.  Who are the people in your life that you would like to thank?  Why?

A.  My immediate family for sure.  In addition to all that they do in the family unit and their lives, I could not be a Hollywood movie actor and ETA without them.  They are critical in both, especially as an ETA. Many are good as a one man show; I have several close people helping me do a professional job as an ETA.  

Q.  What would you like to say to your ETA fans?

A.  It is a true pleasure and honor to share our love of Elvis and his music with you. While many have their ETA favorites, I encourage everyone to respect and appreciate the ETAs that are giving their all to be the best they can in honoring and reflecting Elvis (those that do).

Friendship, A Perfect "Blendship"

Love is in the Air #6: Friendship

While you check out the photos of friends (and some relatives) taken at ETA shows, please click on the video at the right o enjoy the Cole Porter song “Friendship” sung by Ethel Merman. (You may want to sing along :)

If you're ever in a jam, here I am

If you're ever in a mess, S-O-S
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail, I'm your bail.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig.

If you're ever up a tree, phone to me.
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell.
If you ever lose your teeth, and you're out to dine, borrow mine.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgate,
Ours will still be great.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck.

If they ever black your eyes, put me wise.
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose.
If they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgit,
Ours will still be it.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, hep, hep, hep.

Thanks for the great memories.

Q.  Who are the important women in your life?

A.  I'm lucky enough to have quite a few important women in my life. The main core of our "group" of friends is about 80% female! Then there is my mother-in-law, Sandy, my daughter, Allison, my granddaughter, Aubree, my mom Margy....and the Queen of the group, my wife, Lisa.

Q.  What men have had a positive influence on your life, and in what ways?

A.  I'd have to say my Dad, who has passed away.  He taught me that if you want something, you have to work hard for it, and to always be friendly with people.  Seems like wherever he went, he always made a new friend.  I was impressed by that.

Q.  Who are the people in your life that you would like to thank?  Why?

A. Well, every one of the people mentioned above, obviously, but more importantly, my Lisa.  Nobody supports, encourages, protects, defends, and pushes me like she does...and I thank her for it!

Q.  What would you like to say to your ETA fans?

A.  I'd like to say to the people who enjoy our shows...THANK-YOU!  It means so much to us that you like them as much as you do.  Hopefully we're going to be coming out of this Covid mess shortly, and we'll be able to resume actual real shows again.  I can't wait to see everyone in person again!
