Update On Ernst Sun Project
Edythe Peeler sits on what remains of the VFW stage where Elvis Presley performed in 1954. Peeler has shared her Presley memories with a Danish researcher compiling information on his early career. HERNANDO - A Danish researcher is asking DeSoto Countians to scan their memories and search their scrapbooks for local appearances by the king of Rock 'n' Roll during his early career. Ernst Mikael Jorgensen, a research writer from Denmark, is attempting to chronicle all of Elvis Presley's early appearances. Jorgensen, a compilation producer for Sony Music, is charged with compiling all of Presley's performances for Sony's Elvis Presley catalogue. Jorgensen has enlisted the help of local individuals like Edythe Peeler, 84, of Hernando. Peeler, who was married at the time, remembers when a 19-year-old Presley, fresh from an appearance on the popular Louisiana Hayride show, dropped by a VFW dance in Hernando to sing a few songs in the summer of 1954. "He had on blue jeans and a plaid shirt," Peeler said. "He did about two songs and that was it. He sang 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky.'" Peeler's husband was a member of the entertainment committee for the VFW. "Elvis came in on his own," Peeler said, adding that he wasn't scheduled to play the VFW that night. "It was kind of funny back then. People didn't really know him but after he got famous, they remembered he had played for them at the VFW." Peeler said dance halls like the VFW were popular. "There were not a lot of places to go dance," Peeler said. "It was an informal thing. We had chairs around the stage. The women who wanted to dance sat at the edge of the stage. It was a very good dance floor. I think it was one of the best in the country." A dark scuffed line around the walls, still visible after a half century, was caused by teenyboppers who backed their chairs to the wall, waiting to dance, Peeler said. Remnants of the original VFW stage where Elvis performed still exist behind a wall erected during a renovation several years ago. The original dance floor, scuffed and worn in places and in need of a good buffing and polishing, still stands. Others at the VFW also recall the long-haired country boy from Tupelo, and later, the housing projects in Memphis. As he sat at the bar at the VFW, Bill Sparks of Hernando recounted the days when he went to school with Presley at Humes High School. "To me, he was kind of a loner," Sparks said. "He had ducktails. He was different. Don't get me wrong, he was a very nice guy." Sparks, while a Marine recruit at Camp Lejeune, N.C., was impressed enough by his old high school friend that he went to see the singer during a traveling show of the Louisiana Hayride in 1954 in Newbern, N.C. "To me, he was a darned good singer," Sparks said. "He put a lot of feeling in it." A 1954 Memphis city directory lists Elvis Presley as a truck driver for Crown Electric Company on Alabama Street. During that period in his career, he sang with the Louisiana Hayride and local fairs and carnivals, including the Cotton Carnival in Memphis. The year 1954 was pivotal for Presley. "That's All Right" was the first single released by Elvis Presley. It was recorded in July 1954, and released on July 19, 1954 with "Blue Moon of Kentucky" as the B-side on the Sun Records recording label. He had recorded it a year earlier in a private recording for his mother Gladys as a birthday present. Presley, in the mid-1950s, before he became a fully-known national rock 'n' roll star, was constantly on the road. Some towns didn't want Presley to perform because of his loud clothes and swiveling hips. Darrell Britt said Elvis was scheduled to play the Dixie Theater in Ripley in 1952. However, town elders discovered that Presley was going to wear purple pants to the performance. "The Baptists and the Presbyterians got together and forbade it," Britt said. During 1955 and 1956, the singer and his band performed widely, especially in the South, making numerous personal appearances, from high schools to county fairs. At that time, Presley was essentially a regional phenomenon, known primarily in the South. Elvis would not appear on national television until January 1956 - first on The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show, and later in September 1956, on the Ed Sullivan Show. Presley died in 1977 at his home Graceland. His records continue to outsell current artists and Graceland is one of the top tourist attractions in the nation. |
