SHAME & FORTUNE

THIS DAY IN ELVIS HISTORY... FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD, 1955 - MEMPHIS, TN.

Elvis goes to a show by the Blackwood Brothers at Ellis Auditorium.

When James Blackwood found out that Elvis was there and he bought his own ticket, he was so ashamed that he gave him a refund.

"Thanks Fellas! But I think you owe me another 47 cents!"
