I know you, Baker, you're not such a hard nut!---Eric Clapton, hailing Baker on the street, when Baker drummed for the
Graham Bond Organisation and Clapton was yet to leave the Yardbirds in 1965.

Happy birthday you hard nut . . .

French band and a lot of folks over there actually fly the stars and bars as a symbol of rockabilly in the most precise terms, being a rebel or liking "hillybilly" type of music which is kind of what rockabilly is along with being country and rock 'n' roll I'd say.  They are sort of like an English "Teddy Boy" band as well, I'd say, cerca 1960 rock 'n' roll right before the Beatles.



Where can I get a shirt like that?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx8YkMjoIrE

They may be getting an idea of the controversy that rages over this over the past few years but I don't think there was such an awareness of when this as a symbol, just like Betty Page is, when it took hold.  I'm no fan of Betty Page either, it seems to say '50s trash to these people, it's a rockabilly culture and exists in quite a few places in Europe.

I think these guys are from Germany, some good rocking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbUwQt8mCqg

People like Jake Scott whom I posted yesterday, have had a very fruitful career touring Europe and playing rockabilly type music. It's a whole culture.

All Music Is Welcomed, looks like a bunch of other threads are popping up in this forum, good.

http://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays.php  , the other website is currently down...

"Gentleman"  Jim Reeves was born on this day in history:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smlaq1ezQRM
And a number of other major hits, a great voice.

"Sneaky" Pete Kleinow is another birthday boy, pedal steel guitar, really extraordinary at the instrument. Primarily known for his years and longevity with the Flying Burrito Brothers.

I still can recall the first time I heard this one; and it was some time after it was originally recorded.  I think it was off a radio station in Colorado on a Sunday evening. I think Jim Reeves' version is the most popular one though others have recorded it. Apropos for a Sunday and just one of those great songs.  Dedicated to all.

Ricky Van Shelton, just linking:

Great version even if I'd still go with the original Vera Lynn:

Great song by Gary Lewis and the Playboys that I don't think was posted a fortnight ago, when it was Gary's birthday.

Kenny Rogers was also in the New (Christy) Minstrels, even before the New Edition.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm9__0-8eXQ

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Christy_Minstrels

A folk ensemble, Barry McGuire, Gene Clark and Kim Carnes have also been in the group.

They toured our town once which was generally off-the-beaten-track. We'd get a few acts.

The Minstrels song "Green Green" is played with some regularity on some radio stations playing past hits.

Yes, but after Rogers joined, none of their recordings reached the charts.

It might not be difficult to see why the NCM were not big chart toppers:

I was just saying that they had no songs on the charts AFTER Rogers joined. However, prior to that they had 6 songs that did. Here are their 2 biggest hits (reaching #14 & #17):

They were produced by Joe Meek, of Tornados, writer and producer of Telstar.

A good Brit group if one likes the ones that were more blues based were the downliners sect.
