For sure.... although I have to wonder if he'd been "quite" so popular without
all the top heavy bimbos surrounding him :)
Kids these days haven't a clue as to what original (and he WAS an original)
humor is. Hell, I've even got his theme song on my old cell phone as a primary
ring tone.
Oh well... so much for old farts, memories and senior moments huh?
btw: I thunk I wuz mistaken about the 50s post. I had thought you once
mentioned Ray Smith (but possibly not). Anyway... I know you've got more Gene
Vincent tracks than you can count... However... I've got a 4 disc set queued up
to begin on July 5... al least check a couple of cuts... some of the cleanest
versions I've heard (with good dynamic range).
Also some very clean Cochran stuff coming down the pipe too.
puttin' some Avengers stuff in that group tomorrow since I have no clue as to
where else to put it (but the "style" fits).
c ya
