All competent musicians, I always look at the drummer, if he holds his sticks in the match grip then I know I 'm in for some good music, be it rock or swing.

"I loved it. He did it faster than I did; it had a real groove to it. I still like it today and sometimes catch myself unconsciously speeding it up and doing it his way. Ain't that strange? But I had no idea he was gonna record it and when I saw him do it live on television, I gotta admit that I felt real proud." -- Carl Perkins

Carl at his best

Such a rockabilly legend...one man's disaster is another man's opportunity...who would have thought that a car-crash could so benefit Elvis' career and put a dent in Carl's. Thanks for the posting, John.

That boy can play guitar! Besides being a great song writer and singer.
