Elvis & Arni May backstage in Ottawa, Canada, April 3, 1957. "As union rules required local talent to be hired for the performance, Presley requested that the Ottawa drummer, then only 18-years old, and his orchestra, play with him and the Jordanaires. May recalled that Elvis was a “first-class gentleman,” and had treated him like a friend. May was paid $30 as the band leader; his band members each received $20." Arni May passed away on December 13, 2011.
