Elvis's recorded That's All Right and Blue Moon of Kentucky on July 5, 1954. It was released on 19 July 1954, with Blue Moon of Kentucky as B side.

In 2004 the Rolling Stone magazine argued in an article that That's All Right was the first rock'n'roll record and classified it as the 112th best song of all times on its list of "500 Hundred Best Songs of All Times".

This rare record is a 78. The "B" side is, Blue Moon of Kentucky, and is one of a few that are available in such excellent condition.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was to stay in Shreveport!

This is only a tidbit of the North Louisiana Music Trail.

This is a video of Jerry Lee Lewis' sister, Frankie, sharing her memorabilia collection, and knowledge, with a group of travel writers.

This is from 2013 and is in the Jerry Lee Lewis Boyhood Home Museum and Drive-thru Liquor Barn and Convenience Store, located on Louisiana St. In Ferriday, and only in Louisiana!

Frankie said she took the famous photo of the million dollar quartet in Memphis, and has the piano right there in her bedroom.

She traveled extensively with him in the good times and the bad. She is the notorious photos with Jerry Lee and his 13 year old bride back in late 1957.

I wonder what happened to this 60 year collection of photographs, clothing, memorabilia that covered the walls from floor to ceiling in every room and closet.

Really remarkable.
