• That is terrific. I love anything that has to do with Elvis. I saw him at Kiel Auditorium on March 10, 1957 and his hit song at that time was "All Shook Up". If you remember him wearing that gold suit, that's what he was wearing that night. I will never forget it if I live to be 100. In my opinion, anyone who did not grow up in the 60's missed a time that is cherished by many. Great post Wheels and thanks.

• Howdy, Yes indeed, a great time to grow up. Even for like me that did't get out much. In the late '50s I remember so many who left high school and went straight to St. Louis for a job with Emerson, a car factory or aircraft plant only to return within a couple of weeks or so with a new car. The '60s I remember most was awakening to a world outside a rural farm. Elvis' music and style was not that quickly accepted. Each hit song wasn't really being appreciated in rural America untill it had been replaced by the next. When the shaggy haired brittish group came folks really started to listen to Elvis' music and rethink their music taste.

• John,

  I graduated high school in 56 got married the fall of 57, first child born in 59, and the next 30 years of the outside world I missed most of. Just working to pay the bills and raise a family was my life for the most part.
