As public school budgets tighten and funding for arts and cultural organization shrinks, youth art programs are systematically eroded and eventually eliminated.

The Haute Arte event will include eclectic photography by local photographers G. Miles, Preston Johnson (Ace Up Productions), and Ken Gordon (Ken Gordon Photography) from 8:00PM – 9:00PM.

Live music will be provided by local cover band, Soul-Unique, and DJ Sean Mac will spin throughout the evening. Haute Arte attendees will also have the opportunity to add to a collaborative art-piece that will be donated to the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation.

Art will be for sale from artists such as Troy Guildbeaux, H.C. Porter, Lesley Silver, Josh Haily, Ranada Robinson, and Hilari Jones.

All Shook Up was written by Otis Blackwell. Elvis recorded it January 12, 1957 at Radio Recorders. Dudley Brooks is featured on the piano. Take number ten was chosen for release by RCA. Elvis took many takes before selecting the best one. He ran the recording sessions.  This song entered Billboards Top 100 chart at #25, and was #1 in its third week for eight straight weeks. It was the chart for a total of 30 weeks, the longest of any Presley single. It peaked at #3 on the Country Best Seller chart; and reached #1 for one week on the Country Juke Box chart; it was #1 on the rhythm & blues chart for 4 weeks.

Lyrics via YouTube post

A well bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
wooo ooo yeah, yeah!

Well, My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
wooo, ooo, yeah, yeah!

Well, Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I feel fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!

When She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
wooo ooo yeah, yeah!

My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have that girl that I love so fine!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up uh
wooo ooo yeah, yeah!
wooo ooo yeah, yeah!
I'm all shook up

Happy New Year
