Notes

Elvis begins a week long Tom Perryman tour with Jim Ed and Maxine Brown.

Hayride drummer DJ Fontana, who has played with the group occasionally both in Sheveport and on the Hayride tours, joins Elvis for the first time on a regular basis, although unlike Scotty and Bill, he is only a salaried member of the band rather than a percentage participant.

Notes

This is a show put together by Cleveland DJ Bill Randle, who, in his October 22 column in the Cleveland Press, describes the film to be made from it, a Universal picture in which Randle will be "supported by Pat Boone, the Four Lads, Bill Haley and his Comets, and the phenomenal Elvis Presley. Called 'Top Jock' (or 'The Pied Piper Of Cleveland - A Day In The Life Of A Famous Disc Jockey', the film will run about fifteen minutes when it hits your movie house".

It never did... and never has....
