 Bonsall said in a 2011 AP interview, Elvira transformed their lives. It just became a monster, monster hit song. It took us from being a country music, major country music act at the time, to a household name. Bonsall also wrote 11 books. His last one is a memoir called I See Myself that comes out in November. I don't think there's a guy up here that ever really thought as a kid that I'm going to go out there and be, you know, a big solo act. It was always a group mentality, a group philosophy, and I think that's why we've been together so long. I'm Archie Zaroleta.
