Bill 
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

A great quote Bill
from the 1972 hit song of the same name by the late great Rick(y) Nelson, no not Willie's son.
But one of my early 1950's favo(u)rites along with Buddy Holly and the Everlys
I recorded a great PBS documentary on Ricky
last year and his sons revealed that, if I remember correctly Ricky wrote that song "Garden Party" after a Madison Square Gardens concert
primarily to express his dismay that his fans were ignoring his later and then current work(with his Stone Canyon Band) in favour of his long list of hits.
Indeed I have just read on:-

"One of the biggest hits of his career, "Garden Party," pointedly rejected the notion that he would allow himself to be relegated to a nostalgia act"
So yes Jesse-Joe though I too share your taste for 1960's nostalgia you have to understand how Gord feels (rather like Ricky)
John Fowles
Now here is a challenging thought had he not ate and drugged himself to death I wonder what Elvis's later works would have been like?
