I took this at a live show in St.Louis sometime around  1955.

The picture shows Evis Presley with most of Roy Acuff's band 

in the back. That's Roy talking to Brother Oswald off to the

 right and Howdy Forrester playing fiddle. This was quite early

in Elvis's career. He only had 3 or 4 Sun recordings at this time. 

I recall him performing Baby Let's Play House and Blue Moon 

of Kentucky. There were other Opry performers at this concert 

such as Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins & Lou Childrey.
