Jerry meets Sandy and falls in love. Elvis meets the Beatles and keeps it 100. Lennon later asks Jerry to pass along a private message to Elvis letting him know that w/o him he wouldn't be who he is today, sideburns and all. Elvis, Jerry. and Scilla experiment with LSD for the first time (supervised). Jerry sees Elvis as a plump boy the a plump happy baby. <3

Elvis was such a genuine loving man. He had his flaws like any of us and its not fair to hold him to a higher standard because he was constantly in the spotlight. Its so sad to read that he was already as world weary as he was due to the inherent nature of fame as extreme as his. Its nice to read that he had a soft hearted person like Jerry around.

Continues to play pickup games at Guthrie on Sundays when EP is in town. Elvis' popularity grows, also among those who out of jealousy (husbs/bf's) take shots at or try to injure at the pickup games. As always, EP wins haters over w his charisma and charm, growing fans along the way. EP's pink Cadillac mentioned; Jerry vacations in FL, where EP performs to excited audiences. "Grab me a Pepsi, will you?"

More pickup games at Guthrie w Elvis. EP's popularity also among those wishing to harm him (jealous boyfriends/husbands), but 'Pretty boy' EP wins them over with his charm and charisma. Mentions pink Cadillac, lol EP was a smooth operator from the jump. Sees him live and how amazing the experience is, he's like a tiger on stage. Goes to FL on vacation, sees EP there doing a few gigs. "Grab me a Pepsi, will you?"

Meets Elvis in 1954 via pick up game where Elvis' team needed a sixth man. Red got Jerry involved likely knowing him from knowing his brother Billy Ray. Schilling describes life in North Memphis at the time, poor whites with pride and definitely aware of segregation rules in ecery day life. Describes Elvis at the time as not standing out w sandy brown hair and ice blue eyes, cool and confident w/o trying.
