[lz127graf]

@lz127graf crosley

[Shoknifeman]

Too country for my taste, the Burnette Trio's version beats this one into the ground

[TyroneSchmidling]

AND, if you are interrested in that, Les Cole (Be Boppin' Daddy) on D is a pseudonym for Johnny Mathis.

[TyroneSchmidling]

by the way, It's not Johnny Mathis on this one, it's Lynn Fautheree as "Johnny". Mathis left in '55 and returned in '60.

[beboppabilly]

yeah!! you got some cool stuff

[TyroneSchmidling]

Nice one! Much better than the Burnette Version. I also like the Version on Dixie by Orangie Ray Hubbard in 1957.

[bebopcapitol56]

SO GOOD.....

[thepaashaas]

why do you flick the arm the other way at the beginning?

[LynchburgSourMash]

:-D i'm glad to hear your comment thepaashaas...it makes us all living a longer life :-D

@LynchburgSourMash acrtually, on crosley record players (like yours) all models do that to turn on the turntable

[KojiRecords]

This unit is of European design with the off/on mechanism: In order to turn the player on, the tonearm is pulled the other way, as you see here, until you hear the click and the platter starts to move. Likewise, when the record is completed playing, once the tonearm moves into the runoff grooves, as you again see here, the player automatically shuts off. Many of the new antique music boxes with the turntable are operated in this manner, which was for single play only, not for multiple records.

I think that's to start it turning. I used to have a record player like it before

[johnnymccrowe]

@thepaashaas ,starts the record rollin!

[cobolsaurus]

My grandmother had those. I used to watch them spin and got dizzy... =-P

[wildestcatintown]

Both versions are GREAT! That's rock-a-billy music at his best!

[88keys30]

[ustwo80]

Not as good as Johnny Burnette's version but still really cool and raw, thanks so much for playing
