TCB Band : Bob Lanning : (Drums)
Bob's mother was Roberta Sherwood, who became famous in 1956 when she became a 'headlining' torch singer and entertainer performing with Mickey Rooney, Don Pickles, Joey Bishop and Milton Berle. Bob we hear, came on recommendation to Elvis, working for him during the January/February second Las Vegas season. He also played in all of the shows at The Houston Astrodome. Elvis needed a drummer to fill in for Ronnie Tutt.
This was because Colonel Parker didn't inform Ronnie Tutt that Elvis would be returning to Vegas after August 1969. Ronnie had a contract with Mike Post who was musical director for 'Andy Williams' at the time on NBC TV which had to be fulfilled.
However, Ronnie was able to return for the start of the third season in August 1970.
