It's post-1955, and thus outside the scope of A Boy From Tupelo. It was taken at the YMCA Gym in Lexington, KY on Wednesday, March 21, 1956.

It's kind of amazing to think that when this photo was taken, Elvis was about to make his sixth network TV appearance, his last Sun single had recently hit #1 on the Billboard Country charts, his debut single for RCA, "Heartbreak Hotel," was heading to #1 on the pop charts, his debut LP for RCA was in the stores, he'd do a couple of Hollywood screen tests in a few weeks, and yet he was playing a gym in Lexington on a Wednesday night.

That would soon change.
