Hello-Folk Art records in San Diego used to have reel to reel radio recordings like 30 years ago. I looked them up and here's a link. Maybe they have what you're looking for-Mickey https://www.folkartsrarerecords.com/ -----Original Message----- From: David Lewis Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2021 5:39 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Grand Ole Opry - Elvis Presley October 2, 1954 It's covered on page 11 of the booklet of "Elvis Presley: A Boy from Tupelo" [RCA Legacy 889854177324, 2017]. Elvis appeared on Hank Snow's segment of the show, along with the Davis Sisters and Eddie Hill. Cashbox described it as "a terrific performance." Elvis, Scotty and Bill also appeared on Ernest Tubb's "Record Shop Show" the same day. Producer Ernst Mikael Jørgensen did due diligence tracking down every possible recording, or even photograph, of Elvis during the Sun period for this package. I do believe that if there had been a recording of his Opry appearance, Jørgensen would have found it. Certainly several Louisiana Hayride performances rescued at the last second from decaying lacquers, are to be found in this set, which I reviewed for ARSC Journal.
