See if you can't locate the version titled "Hey Shine", it was not altered for middle class consumption.

This guy got nerve. He stole the entire song from Bo Didley except the part when they say sing Hand Jive
Do not waste your time to hear this but try Bo

Is that car dealership still on Figueroa and Pico? All I know that's on that corner is the Convention Center.

I was wondering if a guitarist named Pete Lewis ever played with Johnny. I met Pete in Bakersfield, CA in 1961 and he said that he'd played with him but, the band had just recently disbanded.
