    Talk about formulaic. Shouldn't point the finger at this group I suppose, thousands of artists and artiste manques are guilty of the same thing.

    Sure, it's OK. But the original is the one that comes to mind.

    It's one of Robert Cray's most memorable songs. First time I heard it the punch line rather took me aback.

    Such a happy ditty. I admit that this guy is new to me. Leave it at that.

    I'd like to avoid criticizing the music others post, it leads nowhere and injures feelings, worse,it makes folks reluctant to offer their music to us.

    I think we are doing great, just don't want to see this go off the rails.
    Thank you...

    New to me as well, but I thought him a worth the listen. I've never ask my musicians to be GREAT.
    I only ask that they bring a decent amount of sensibility and sensitivity.
    any of us can name a dozen favorites that can't sing for shit. But they bring it with them when they come.

    I feel he brought it with him when he came. Let's not let the Old become the only measure of the New.

    Transistor radios were new and I had one! I was walking home from nowhere and listening to othe songs float by. Then Wednesday morning 3am got a whole album play.

    I missed some of it, but this remains the song that shut me down for a week.

    But what about going Amercian?




    I've been told that this song was in response to the plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richy Valence and left Rock and roll weeping.

    Who remembers the Big Bopper? He was a Disk jockey who wanted to get in on the new Rock and roll music

    Huge hit in it's day.
