"If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin'
For these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin' on
What you need is a Change of Habit"

04 July 1956.jpg



Mostly agree with these suggestions, with a few added comments:

- The example image you place to July 20th appears to be one by journalist Lloyd Shearer , who was on assignment for Parade magazine. But it's pretty certain that he was in Memphis on the weekend of July 28-29, 1956. I generally believe his great shots were made on Saturday, July 28th. His profile of the new star would appear in the September 30, 1956 issue.

- On page 106-107 of Ernst's essential book are three nice-quality photos of Elvis in Helena, AR on January 13, 1955. He's wearing the exact same clothes, has the exact same hair style, and has on the same bracelet and wristwatch. My educated guess would place the second photo on this topic to the same date and place.
