        Because I seem to have no sense of shame ---

          This cat was BRILLIANT! And just a little before my time, but I recall hearing him when I was a kid, and playing his music on the radio later.

            Interesting camera work. I haven't seen some of those moves until they starting mounting camera on booms.

              The first rock tune that grabbed my attention was
              "Wild Thing" from the Trogs .
              The appeal of the tune continues as strong as ever.

                I guess the first rock tune that grabbed me was Hound Dog by Elvis. A friend got a 45 of it, we probably played it 50 times one afternoon just going crazy over it, our parents clucked over how horrible it was, they could not believe civilization had sunk so low. The drum staccato was like a machine gun. The song was an invitation to youthful rebellion against every standard of the times, revolutionary, for us the first crack that grew to the generation gap.

                So although I truly loathe rap and hip hop and what is called R & B (it isn't), I have talked to enough people who sincerely like it that I won't condemn it. I wish recording technology when I was a kid could have been even half as good as it is now. I think of hits like Earth Angel recorded on a reel to reel in the basement of a church (at least thats the story one DJ told). I think about talent scouts scouring the street corners of New York on hot summer nights hunting for the next Frankie Lymon or the next Penguins just singing on some street corner. I think about an astoundingly talented kid like Ritchie Valens snuffed out so long before his immense talent had even begun to flower. How nice it would be if their music had been recorded as well as, well, Take Yo Panties Off was.

                  Count me in as a new Slim fan, he's a hoot! Lord knows what else he could do. Just the kind of guy you'd like having around and bring to parties.

                  Thanx for the turn on!

                    Ritchie Valens.
                    Actually, it was better in some aspects, re analog and user/inventors re Les Paul. The mics and tube equipment was superb, and the then new disc cutting machines the few top studios like RCA used were so advanced that even they had no idea of the quality in their hands until speaker developement advanced a few years later, they were blown away when they understood.

                    Ritchie Valens was a badass, at 16! He still doesn't get his due.

                    Things per music started clicking for me when my Elvis loving cousin/babysitter dated Dick Dale at his early '60s heights. Nobody has topped either of them in those genres.

                      Love this song -- Glenn Frey, "The Heat Is On".
                      .
                      .

                      That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                        Bruce Springsteen's keynote speech at SXSW today was astounding and inspirational to anyone whose life has been spent in the unyielding grip of music. NPR streamed the video of it live, and plans to put the audio up on their website later today; I'll try to link to it then (unless someone else does so earlier).

                              I'm suggesting that you watch all of 'The Piano Guys' music videos.
                              I just discovered them... real cool!
