2. I saw Carl Perkins in the mid 1950's

My cousin and I were at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City and saw all four of his shows that day...we stayed there all day so that we could attend all of them! I was wondering exactly when this was and googled his bio and found this quote: “I felt out of place when ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ was Number One. I stood on the Steel Pier in 1956 in Atlantic City…. and the Goodyear blimp flew over with my name in big lights. And I stood there and shook and actually cried. That should have been something that would elevate a guy to say, ‘Well, I’ve made it.’ But it put fear in me.”

Happy Birthday, Carl.

Thanks for the thread. I was seeing if there was one already started, or one from a year or two back.
