Today, on 1 March in Elvis History

ing the early part of March Elvis returned to Sun and recorded I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone, both as a slow blues and in the up-tempo country form in which it was written. The faster version incorporated drums, which were played by Memphis teenager Jimmie Lott, the first non-Blue Moon boy to play on an Elvis record.

Elvis went to the Memphis traffic court as a witness to the garage accident 2 days earlier. The woman who drove the other car was charged with reckless driving.

Elvis and his entourage stayed on the 10th floor of the Roosevelt Hotel, a block from the French Quarter. Red West came to join the gang. Although the Colonel had strongly advised the mayor not to, the mayor proclaimed "Elvis Presley Day" and security broke down when Elvis' fans came out to see the star.

Just before Elvis' departure from Germany, the army held a press conference at the men's club in Friedberg. Also present was Marion Keisker from Sun Records, who has been serving out her tour of duty in Europe. When Elvis spotted her, he was excited: "I don't know whether to kiss you or salute." Marion answered: "In that order".

On the set of Fun In Acapulco Elvis complained about the clothes he had to wear while performing "Marguerita", explaining that he would never wear such an outfit in real life. However nothing could be changed because his double leaving the bandstand had already been filmed.

This was probably the day of the thoughtful interview James Kingsley had with Elvis. Elvis talked at length about how far he had come and what it all meant. "I know what it is to scratch and fight for what you want. I certainly haven't lost my respect for my fans; I withdraw not from my fans, but from myself.

Elvis performed at the Annual Texas Livestock Show, Houston Astrodome at 2:00 and 7:45 p.m. After the final show there was a press conference at which Elvis was presented with gold records for 5 of his 1969 releases.

There was a surveillance system installed at Graceland, with cameras placed at the gates and in several rooms of the house. These were hooked up to 4 monitors, which Elvis would come to see as a diversification of his television viewing at times.

Elvis performed at the Mabee Special Events Center, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
