@edgarblythe,
Yes, I did. In fact I heard Elvis first. I didn't know at the time it was a
cover.
My good buddy Spencer hails from Dalhousie, New Brunswick. His dad,
Willard, ran the town's movie theatre. As was common in those days,
they also booked live acts. One night, the performer was a little-known
Hank Snow.
When Spencer's mom was reviewing the books later, she saw an item that
shocked her: $10.00 -- H Snow. "Oh my God, Willard!" she yelled at
him. "You paid someone ten dollars to
haul snow?"
