I achully witnessed an all-time great nite of high energy r'n'r in Memphis back in April, namely the Reigning Sound and Jack O & The Tennessee Tearjerkers, at diff venues just a few blocks from each other. So it DOES still happen, just v. diff to find...<br /><br />That nite, RS whipped out fasties, slowies and inbetweenies aplenty, while the TJs wuz grindy'n'blaring w/much raunch.<br /><br />So, as them Real Kids said, "shake it hard and it just might happen again."<br /><br />Keep on doing what you're doing, some of us appreciate it immensely!<br /><br />Joss<br /><br />PS Excellent! The mailman just turned up with John Einarson's new Arthur Lee bio, a book about Rickenbacker 12-strings and a UK 50s racetrack noir novel, Alexander Baron's The Lowlife!

Johnny Mercer guests on each of the two 30-minute shows, trading odd pseudo-downhome banter with Benny and joining in on a few of his own compositions. He's not as much FUN as Phil Harris would have been, but Benny would never have had Phil Harris on his show! alas...<br />Happy 4th from south Texas...<br /><br />Bill S.Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07573129431937332002noreply@blogger.com
