Somebody should do it....The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-52134547425798964242009-11-07T17:59:38.781-05:002009-11-07T17:59:38.781-05:00There was a May 1956 show from Little Rock release...There was a May 1956 show from Little Rock released on "Elvis: The Legend Begins" on Essential Gold. The recording is from a radio broadcast, so the quality is pretty good for the era.
