These have popped up in other threads but thought it would be neat to have a single thread people could contribute to.

I've got a temporary membership to newspapers.com (free for a week) so you can join in the fun if you want to sign up and see what comes up for your search.  First, the main subject of my searches:

Edit to add that this was in the February 13 1960 edition of The New York Age

I can't recall seeing this, I think I would have remembered Rhode Island's Little Richard.  Sounds like a helluva show with that backing group. Its Newport Rhode Island January 1960, BTW.

Hank was a guest at the Angry Squire in April 1986 but he led dates in Philly with the same singer that May.
