Every week, Nashville's Elvis, Chuck Baril, brings his jewelled jumpsuit, shades, and high kicks down to Broadway, the city's famed honky tonk strip.
Dropping in regularly to sing at various bars, he fulfills his life-long dream of being a full-time entertainer, which involves hours of posing and interacting with evening revellers -- an estimated 100,000 of them since appearing on the street 15 months ago -- thus, making him the city's most recognizable public impersonator.
