Images of the Florida Century 1956 |

| From the Times of Aug. 6, the day after Elvis Presley performed at the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa: He was greeted with deafening screams from the audience of about 1,000 teenagers, which oddly enough was sprinkled liberally with adults. . . . He rocked n rolled his way through seven numbers, laughing, winking, pointing and wriggling. . . . Asked later what he will do when this rock n roll fad passes, he said, Ill probably sit back and think about what I once had -- with no regrets.
