Trivia Quiz - No.447


Graceland Picture of Elvis.jpg


This picture hanging at Graceland is well-known.

But it's cropped, has an altered background & has been colourised.

With whom is he shaking hands in the original ?

Where was it taken & when ?

What is that he's holding there & why ?

Yes !


Killeen, TX in July 1958. ROCKY FRISCO (aka Curtiss, on the left).jpg

Elvis meets with Rocky Curtiss/Frisco in Killeen, Texas, while serving at nearby Fort Hood in 1958.

He signed the bicycle mudguard, which was later won by a radio listener in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Well done, Mister Moon !

Thanks !

There's this home movie of young Priscilla coming down that stairway, and the portrait was already there !

It was such an odd choice for a portrait. There were dozens, if not hundreds, of more logical alternatives !

Yes, ones taken in colour, which didn't need cropping or adjusting !

I wonder whose choice it was ?
