Elvis Guitarist James Burton Getting Hall of Fame Induction
. Burton, who devotes much of this time to his foundation, is also working on an autobiography. He talked to boomercity.com about the project. "I'm doing a book � my life story. There's so many things that I could write about. I could do a whole book on Elvis and a whole book on Ricky [Nelson]. But I'm going to get my story out there and I think everyone is going to enjoy it." Burton also talked about his longstanding friendship with Rolling Stone Keith Richards: "Yeah, Keith and I go back to 1964 � Shindig! I had a group called the Shindogs. Keith and The Rolling Stones came and they brought a singer that was on the show � Howlin' Wolf � and I was nominated to play guitar for Howlin' Wolf on the show. It was great." "Keith and I have been friends forever," he continued. "He has been wonderful and has helped us with the foundation in all kinds of ways � like making donations. He's a very busy person; one of his goals and one of my goals is to play together on my show � the show we do here, the guitar festival. Of course, Keith and I have worked together on the Gram Parsons taping that we did up in Santa Barbara and in Universal City in California there. We've played together, so it was an incredible honor to have him induct me into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
