Dueling Elvises:
with Bud Sanders
Backtrac'n was a band that Bud Sanders put together to perform the pre-British Invasion rock 'n' roll music he loved. The primary focus was on his renditions of Elvis Presley songs, but he generously shared the spotlight with the rest of the group. I had wanted to do this old Carl Perkins hell-raiser for a long time, and this was the band to do it. My principle memory of this gig was that we were playing for the gate, and nobody thought to station anybody at the door to collect the cover charge until the night was half gone. We each went home that night with $2.00. I left shortly thereafter to permanently rejoin Applejack. I used to kid Bud that he'd have to quit doing Elvis at the age of 42, because that's how old Elvis was when he left the building for the final time. Bud is still around, and still rockin'.
