A couple of  interesting music events on this day.  In 1954, Elvis Presley paid Sun Records $4.00 to record two songs for his mother: "My Happiness" and "That’s When Your Heartaches Begin." The session took ten minutes.

January 4,1965 was a very good day for Leo Fender. CBS bought the Fender Guitar Company from Leo for $13 million.
