That idea of a "point in time/place/people" is fascinating to me from the "what if" standpoint. I watched an A&E "Biography" series program on Sam Phillips the other night and the point was made there too regarding Elvis. There probably wasn't another studio anywhere at that time who would have recorded him at all, let alone the manner in which Phillips did. How would this have changed the path of rock and would Elvis have been even a footnote smaller than Carl Perkins? I'm not an Elvis fan, just found it food for thought.
