Re: EP's microphone from JD Sumner archives
Um....not Shure sure I've ever seen a picture of Elvis on stage with this mic; no idea what model it'd be, either. Anyway, didn't Bill Porter or whoever was initially working sound for Elvis take care of the whole mic thing?

Looks like a silver cigar! Perhaps Monica had one just like is!

Re: EP's microphone from JD Sumner archives
It does remind me a little bit of the mic used for some shows in 1969, but that was a long time before Elvis was working with JD. I can't imagine this is a genuine Elvis owned mic.

That one's from the same manufacturer but a different mic (it's a Shure 545, I think).

Re: EP's microphone from JD Sumner archives
Here's another that's similar, but not the same.

Not sure at all but it COULD look like the one he used during the Jan-Feb 1971 Las Vegas season.
Only got this pic though. Sincerely

When I was a child I was a dreamer,
I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book
And I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie
So every dream I´ve ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.

Hard to tell from that photo -- looks like it could be the trusty re-15, though, which was his primary (only?) mic this season.
