On October 22, 1956, during the evening Elvis rehearsed at home with the jordanaires for his second performance on the Ed sullivan show.

After a brief run-through of the four songs they were going to do on TV, they all sat in a little circle on the floor singing spirituals, with Gladys beaming on the couch.

Every so often she would join in and softly sing a line, while June juanico never shy about her singing, took the alto part on 'in the garden,' which had been part of her high school graduation.

Later that night she and Elvis drove out to mud island, where they had ridden Elvis's motorcycle at what seemed like 100 miles an hour on her first trip to memphis.

Let me know what you think!! xoxo
