The man who would be king

Not even a half-hour before show time, Hernando County's Elvis Presley is upstairs, in Room 615 of the Sheraton, wearing a tight white suit circa 1972, changing his daughter's diaper.

"We got 20 minutes to get down there," he says to his family.

Three songs to go huge.

Kenny Grube is a part-time drum teacher, a full-time stay-at- home dad, and a guy who wanted to be a rock star for pretty much forever.

For years he hung Sheetrock during the day, and at night played the drums in dingy bars from Ocala to Sarasota, hoping what almost everyone hopes. That someone sees. That someone hears.

No one did.

So, pork chop 'burns. White suit with big collar.
