July 15, 1955:
Elvis Presley, Scotty Moore, and Bill Black performed at Joy Drive-In in Minden, Louisiana. They were booked by John Cobb who regularly attended the Louisiana Hayride and had first seen them perform there. For a stage, Cobb borrowed a flatbed truck from Almond’s Feed & Seed Co. in Minden and parked it in front of the snack bar (concession stand). They were said to have been booked for two appearances, but only did the one, and were paid $25 for it.
