On the 20th Anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, Rock-n-Soul lead male singer, Clark Barrios, dusted off his Elvis impersonation and created a tribute to the King. Some of the group’s fans got wind of the tribute and decided to join in on the fun! Kim and Paula bought two dozen roses to hand out to ladies in the audience to present to “The King” at a predetermined moment; they carried on the long time tradition of throwing undergarments. The waiters were inspired by the audience participation and decided to get into the action, placing an eternal flame (Flaming Hurricane Special) at the foot of Elvis while others brought up tins of chocolate! The tribute is cut into three segments on YouTube due to time limitations established by YouTube. Be sure to watch them in order. In 1997, Rock-n-Soul was without a doubt the best cover / show band around. Rock-n-Soul was Clark Barrios, Donna Lamoureaux, Tim Campbell, Big Daddy Dave Williams, Mike Bunch, and Phil May.

Recorded live in the Orchid Garden at Church Street Station in 1999, Brown Eyed Girl was one of the band's songs that bought lead singer Clark Barrios out in the audience to choose a young lady to help him on stage.

Regardless, she would receive a complementary signature drink of Church Street Station - the Flaming Hurricane Special with the souvenir glass. This selection features the entire band, Clark Barrios, Donna Lamoureaux, Tim Campbell, Jeff DeHollander, Dave Williams, and Mike Bunch.

Clark Barrios Elvis Tribute Part 1Front and back images of a post card from Apple Annie's Courtyard at Church Street Station after the fire and water fountain were removed and the wall opened for access to the Exchange shopping and entertainment area. You can see the bandstand with Mother's Choice performing in the back on the right and the new sign for THE EXCHANGE in the center where the fountain was formerly located. You can also see some of the architecture - the chandeliers were from old churches in Europe as was the bar.
This full-color, two sided, multi-fold advertisement pamphlet has scenes from every showroom and restaurant in the Church Street Station complex that stretched from Garland to the train tracks at the old Church Street train station.
This matchbook is from the final years of Church Street Station before the decline as it includes the names of all the restaurants and showrooms and shopping emporiums that existed. These include Rosie O'Grady's (Red Hot Dixieland Jazz0, Cheyenne Saloon (Life Country & Western Music), Orchid Garden (Classic Rock & Roll), Phineas Phogg's (High Energy Dance Music), Apple Annie's (Featuring Fresh Fruit Diaquiris), Commander Ragtime's Midway of Fun & Games, Lili Marlene's (Exemplary Food & Fine Wine), Crackers (Fresh Florida Seafood), Cheyenne Saloon Restaurant (Texas Style Barbeque), Exchange Food Pavilion (Convenient International Cuisine), The Exchange (Over 50 Speciality Shops), and The Wine Cellar (Orlando's Only True Wine Cellar).

Purchased after Church Street Station closed its doors, this is the souvenir glass used in the Orchid Garden Ballroom & Dessert Cafe.
Church Street Station became an Orlando entertainment destination when Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Emporium opened it's doors in July 1974. Central Floridians and people from around the world enjoyed the music, laughter, food and fun that made CSS the stuff of memories. In July 2004, the 30th anniversary of the opening of Rosie's, an exhibit created by a Central Florida resident entitled "Church Street Station ... One Family Remembers," toured the Orange County Library System.
The exhibit was featured in a two page color story in the Orlando Sentinel entitled: "When the party's over; Back in the day, Church Street Station was the place to be. Memories of its good times are on display at the Orlando Public Library." August 5, 2004, pg. H1. This is the flyer that accompanied the exhibit.
