My 16YO son loves "Million Dollar Quartet". It started 4-5 years ago after a trip to Las Vegas. My BIL and I saw it at Harrah's, and I bought the CD. On the return trip, my son was rocking to it in the back seat.

A year later, we stopped at Sun Studio in Memphis, the day after we attended the Gonzaga-Memphis game. The studio tour was great, a real step back in time at the birth of rock and roll.

The following year, we saw the show at UT-Tyler during their national tour. If you haven't seen it, it's the quickest 90 minute ride you'll ever take.

This story ends a few weeks later, while my son's in drama class. His teacher's talking about how Elvis wrote Blue Suede Shoes, and my son was obviously paying attention. He corrected her, saying it was Carl Perkins who wrote Blue Suede Shoes, it's just that Elvis achieved more notoriety with it.

It took a few minutes, and researching on the computer, but she finally got it right. lol

Some don’t realize that Elvis was a singer, not a singer/songwriter.
