Little Richard-Rubber Duckie

Today Sesame Street turns 40--I was in first grade when it premiered. However, I was already reading and writing and saw no need to learn any more of that..now if I could only spell..

anyway here's Little Richard in the "tubby" with his Rubber Duckie..OH SHUT UP!!!!!

Seven Foot Dilly - a 78 from 1930

I found this 78 at a flea market and sold it for 400 bucks within three hours of gettng it home. It is by Seven Foot Dilly and his Dill Pickles from 1930 on the Brunswick label. The song is Kenesaw Mountain Rag. This is my first attempt at making a video for this and putting it on You Tube--not too shabby eh??

Dorse Lewis--The Scared Coal Miner --Mexican Twist

Dorse Lewis--the Scared Coal Miner--does his big hit 'Mexican Twist"!!

Johnny T Talley-I've Changed My Wild Mind [1956]

I first heard this on the old Mercury Rocakbillies LP in the late 70s. I never get sick of hearing it, even after 30 years!!

Harmonica Frank Floyd-Rock a Little Baby [19587]

From 1958 , Frank did this as half a side--the other side was by Larry McKennon-Monkey Love. This is the better of the two songs..

Lew Williams- Something I Said [1956]

Here's some nice cool Texas rockabilly from 1956 !!!!!!!!!

Gene Vincent- Rocky Road Blues [1963]

From a live show in Belgium comes this little goodie

Scrappy Cartoon-The Little Pest [1931]

Another rare Columbia cartoon. Here's Scrappy!!!!

Krazy Kat Cartoon-Weenie Roast [1931]

Here's an old and rare cartoon for ya. Columbia Pictures released cartoons back in the 1930S and 40s under the name SCREEN GEMS. Krazy Kat and Scrappy were once popular back then but somehow they never made TV magic in the 50s and 60s and are therefore forgotten by all but the most avid cartoon geeks like myself.

Sceramin' Jay Hawkins

What can I say??-The original wild man hisself !!!!!!!!

Monster Mash

Bobby "Boris" Pickett's classic hit with 'real" monsters ..doing the Mash!!!

Oh You Beautiful Doll 1929 cartoon and 1958 rocker

Here's an old Max Fleischer Screen Song cartoon--follow the bouncing ball and sing along

and in 1958 the song was done rock n roll style by "Ivan" [Jery Allison of the Crickets]--it featured Buddy Holly on lead guitar and was the flip of "real Wild Child".

Rockin' Ed with the Nocturnes

Oh No It's Me up there on You Tube

We did this at a benefit show for special needs adults. My backup band is called the Nocturnes --However, when I gues twith them we are called The Black Sheep

Johnny Horton-Cherokee Boogie [1959]

This was off of his 1959 LP that also featured his mega-hit BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. This song was originally done by Moon Mullican and was a hit a few years back by BR 549, but this is by far my all-time favorite version.

Frank Wilson-Do I Love You [Motown 1965]

This is a very rare northern soul and Motown classic. One of the rarest records in the enitre universe!!!!!!!!
