RT: Oh yeah, very much.

Born in Dallas , Texas , United States, Tutt was a native Texan and was involved with music and performing arts for most of his childhood. In an early gig, he appeared on the same bill as a then little-known Elvis Presley. Tutt didn't think much of him, as his girlfriend spent the evening making eyes at him. Tutt recounted this story to Presley years later when he was working for him, which Presley found hilarious. He flew in with his drum kit, which he set up in the recording studio, though while he was waiting to be called, another drummer walked in and began playing his kit. Tutt thought that he had lost the chance to even audition, as Gene Pello was incredibly experienced and seemed to be winning Elvis Presley over.

Was it still fun to work in that kind of confined environment with Elvis? Do extensions to concerts cause a problem as they usually lasted between minutes?

Then at the last minute the Colonel pops up with this little short tour, he figured, everybody was just waiting for their call, to be brought to them, I said sorry I can't do it. RT: Yeah, if he didn't feel the audience was responding the way he was in the mood for. College allowed me to break into a melting pot of musicians from all over Northern America, that allowed us to go out and work in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, and actually hone your skills of playing while going to school while you're there. He wouldn't let on, like all his medical problems. RT: Please, go ahead. He was a pretty raw, wild individual in those days, so he wasn't necessarily proud of what he called 'those spastic days'. That's what I wanted. He maybe had just a couple of records out at the time. With Elvis you saw he was the pillar of your life or you saw something that maybe, wasn't as good as it should have been. Yeah, I think we're all pleased with the way it came along, and that the fans enjoy it so much, the people who are really into music. I don't know how to actually say it. There was one show Pontiac, Michigan ET: Obviously after you got the job, you would have been involved in lots of rehearsals, before that first concert in But, that show had to be timed, it had to be.

Elvis Presley Enterprises announced the news of Tutt's passing via social media, stating "All of us with Elvis Presley Enterprises were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ronnie Tutt.

Every opening night when we played there you could hear and see he was nervous. The whole thing was put together to do one show in , in Memphis. He was a pretty raw, wild individual in those days, so he wasn't necessarily proud of what he called 'those spastic days'. Next year I hope to make a little time to get around the country a little bit. It must have been hard on your family life. You know, I later had a conflict too, I'd booked a session and a short two week tour with the Gerry Garcia band, we did an album and they'd asked me to do this tour way in advance, so I said OK. But I said 'I don't care about all of that, that's somebody else's problem' but at the same time it's only the fans that would have been hurt and they deserved for us to come and say hello. He'd been around enough cameras in his life, where he could relax, so he allowed the cameras to not get in his way. The reverse would be to come out and do a two hour show himself, like we do with Neil [Diamond]. I finally became so busy, so involved doing gigs that I didn't have time to go to school anymore. We did an interview, a short interview and promo when they promoted it in the United States and actually all of Northern America, and interviewing us and just promoting it. We had a day off and did the typical tourist thing.
