Who's the guitar player??

[captainzorikh]

Kudos to Bob for using the pre-Bill Haley lyrics!

[TheDJGrandPa]

@captainzorikh pre-Bill Haley? Didn't Haley sing this in like... '55? and before that it was a Rhythm and Blues song

[captainzorikh]

@TheDJGrandPa That's right. These are the lyrics written by Jesse Stone (Charles E. Calhoun) and recorded by Big Joe Turner in 1954. Bill Haley recorded a cleaned-up version later that same year.

BTW, I have heard some truly rockin' fiddles, and I dig the kitten (and her outfit) in this number.

Bob Will's  fiddle players did it for years!

[kareljbeer]

the great snowman now i know what he looked like

[ffairlane57]

How does one play fiddle to a rocking tune like Miss Blondie on the left is trying to do?

[dkfelix]

@ffairlane57 Or play trumpet to "blue Suede Shoes" on the same show!:-)

I love these old Town Hall videos where country and the emerging rock n rollers were happy to be together on stage. They all just loved playin music!

Don't insult Bob by comparing him with Gene!

[leoseries]

Watch that piano shake!

[redfoley]

Great posting - Bob Luman looking like Gene Vincent - and rocking up a storm!

[ffairlane57]

1948? I say around '58 because of the Standel amps.
