THE YOUNG ELVIS

Elvis Presley was born in a two‐room house in Tupelo, Mississippi, an area that can experience extremes of weather, from hot summers to unbelievably cold winters. His twin brother, Jessie, was dead at birth, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. From an early age, Elvis showed a tendency for music. For his 11th birthday, as a gift from his parents, Elvis chose an acoustic guitar. The Tupelo Hardware Store on Main Street, where the guitar was bought, is famous to this day and is visited by thousands of fans. The owners are proud of their Elvis connection.

Elvis used to spend all evenings sitting around on his family porch and trying to master the rudiments of guitar playing. Dreaming, imagining, but never in his wildest dreams knowing where his passion for music would lead him. Folks who knew Elvis at that time remember that he often gave away whatever toys he had to other children.

In 1946 Elvis commenced at Junior High School in Tupelo, entering the 6th grade class in which he looked very much out of place, the only pupil wearing overalls. By 7th grade, he used to take his guitar to school daily and play in the lunch and break periods, trying to impress his classmates. While he was in the 8th grade, school bullies cut the strings of his guitar, but classmates collected enough money to buy him new ones.
