This should have been called the 50th anniversary of "That's All Right", Elvis's first song. It has been said that the first rock and roll record was Rocket 88 recorded at Sun a year or 2 early. There were a few stars at this. Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Isaac Hayes, and a few others. I never saw Justin or Cameron. I was to busy scrambling setting up two live shots. One was for the multbox feed of the ceremony and the other was for Joe Birch to toss to he ceremony. I needed two because the station thought there was going to be a satellite feed of the song being started by Scotty Moore(Elvis's guitarist)...there was but it was an audio feed for radio. There is nothing like scrambling to get something done hoping that it works. It did and it looked fine on the air but it is to much pressure for one person. As long as I save the shot, I don't get help from the station so this will never change.
I was planning on taking a few more pictures, but I was to busy from 4am to 1pm to actually stop and shoot any pictures. Scotty Moore happened to stop in front of our live shot location so I snapped off a few. The sun studio shots were at 4:30am.
