Hardrock Gunter Interview 1/2

Hardrock Gunter, the rockabilly singer/guitarist/songwriter from the 50s and early 60s, shares stories about how he got his name, being the first to name music "rock and roll", his friend Hank WIlliams, the song Birmingham Bounce (recorded in 1950, it has been mentioned as possibly the first rock and roll song), playing in Europe in the 90s, and a comparison to Elvis (Hardrock recorded on Sun Records before Elvis did.) The interview was made in his home in Fall of 2008.

Я в 13 лет уже ходил на танцы почти на все площадки ,были ведь духовые оркестры .Прыгали как очумелые под такую музыку очень нравилось, а сейчас.....одна наркота.
