Elvis: "A Day in the Life" November 10, 1955 (Thursday)
The Andrew Jackson Hotel, 231 6th Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee.
Elvis and Bob Neal attended the fourth annual Country Music Disc Jockey Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. He supposedly told everyone about his imminent switch to RCA, even thought the Colonel hadn't closed the deal at that time.
Back in his room at the Andrew Jackson hotel, Mae Boren Axton played him a demo of a new song that she had co-wrote with Tommy Durden called "Heartbreak Hotel". Elvis loved the song and played it over and over.
