There were a lot of rumors surrounding this particular event. I heard it that they were supposed to hang with Elvis that day but that he stood them up. Then I read that it was the other way around. Elvis had actually stood them up. Either way, the whole Elvis thing was a bust and the boys wound up making some fine music together that day.
