Elvis and Johnny Cash (1957)
Johnny Cash started out on a tour in California on May 31, 1957, and would have most likely checked into the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel [Los Angeles, CA], later that evening. Cash was booked to play Compton, California, about ten miles south of downtown Los Angeles on Saturday evening, June 1, 1957. Elvis' schedule whilst making the movie Jailhouse Rock was to work Monday to Friday, with the weekends off.
The recently discovered color 8mm footage shows Elvis and Johnny Cash together at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel in Elvis' Presidential suite, with a clock visible displaying a time of 2pm.
Elvis is possibly playing an acetate record of his recently recorded number '(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care', as Elvis demonstrates the dance moves he has rehearsed for that number as seen in the finished movie, which would not be filmed for almost two weeks.
Excerpt: The Making Of Jailhouse Rock (Book: "Movie") by David English and Pål Granlund (2021)
Footage above would be from Saturday, June 1, 1957.

I don't usually make personal posts here, but I thought I'd share this:
I've been doing cross stitching for about a year now. Initially, I just wanted to find some kind of craft to occupy my time with, and since I'm not very skilled in, well, anything, I thought cross stitching might be a nice, simple thing to try. I started out with easy patterns and have been gradually moving to more varied, challenging things.
Aaaaanyway, all this to say: I made a gift for my Elvis loving friend!
I got to try a new fabric (28 ct Evenweave, using over one stitches, which made the stitching quite small) and a slightly different stitching technique. I also modified the original chart a little (because doing pin stitches on Evenweave was a pain in the ass 😅).
This was a fun project to do, though veeeeery slow going (took me about three months to finish). I do like the end result though, and how well it resembles the original photograph. ❤️
