Ljdfwordpress...life with George. See in memorium
I presume the gentlemen to whom you're referring is the recently deceased George W. Kealiher Jr.(November 9, 1937 - January 6, 2016).
Could you give us a little more information about this photograph?

George was working backstage. Assisting with the musicians. He was a fan of Mr. Young. This was an impromptu photo.

I'm reading through the blog -- that's a moving story you've told.
It would you seem obvious that you did indeed know George.
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.

My commitment to George was that he would be remembered! All original photos are with the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.

Re: Who is the guy to the right of Faron Young?
Thank you for sharing your blog, and all the great photos uploaded there. George W. Kealiher,Jr got to meet lots of up-and-coming stars at the Denver Coliseum in 1956, thanks to his friendship with the management at the Rainbow Ballroom in Denver. It allowed him backstage when they booked national acts at the Denver Coliseum. Both of the Elvis-related photos are neat.
