The Soulard CD this show appears on lists the date for this performance as July 14, 1956, but this seems to be wrong. Spider Burks, who introduces many of the tracks, was fired by KXLW-AM on July 11, 1956, two days before the Davis Quintet opened a nine-day gig at Peacock Alley (July 13-21, Friday-Saturday). He was hired by KSTL-AM in August 1956 and quickly began live Saturday matinee broadcasts from Peacock Alley. The Davis Quintet returned to Peacock Alley in February 1957 for a nine-day gig (February 15-23, Friday-Saturday). In all likelihood, then, the Soulard material comes from broadcasts on February 16 and 23, and the correct station is KSTL-AM.
