When researching a horseshoe ring with diamonds, Google popped up with a link stating Elvis wore a horseshoe ring. This was during his Aloha from Hawaii concert in 1973. Today is Elvis's birthday (Jan 8th).

Makes me wonder if there is a connection to this mans ring, why was a horseshoe important to him? Did he work at a ranch? An Elvis fan? His name is Elvis?
