July 4, 1956. 1034 Auburn Drive, Memphis. w/Barbara Hearn listening to playback. Wall pic is first publicity shot. His mother liked it so much she went back to the studio and had it hand painted in color on canvas. Here, Elvis is testing the three songs he cut a few days earlier. The acetate cut would play for about 50 takes before it disintegrated. He tried to dance with her, but he was all sweated up; she said "after you're showered up." He asked if the music was danceable — she said no.
