How wonderful this still sounds after 57 years
I was delighted to find it here.Lonnie seems so relaxed and makes it sound
effortless.

@Syd1940 Hi Syd, I performed this Friday last. learnt from the EP you refer to, which I'm pleased to say I still have.

@rosietroy Yes, my Dad had a fit when I listened to Three Dog Night's Mamma Told Me not to Come but he'd listen to the Andrews Sisters and Fats Wallers I want some seafood Mamma. Even earlier have a listen to Harry Roy's My Girl's Pussy from the 1930s. Its all in the mind !!

Would you believe, this is the actual birth of rock n roll, UK side of the pond.

I was at this concert in 1954 and the Chris Barber and was a sensation, and when this skiffle group, with Lonnie Dogegan, played the crowd went wild. My friends and I immediately decided to form a skiffle group. I played a tea-chest bass made from a 3ft square tea chest with a broom handle and double bass string attached. Great days indeed.

I remember this the 1st time around Lonnie really was a big star. he seemed to appeal to all sorts, good stuff.I remember dancing to this at the 7th feathers club in Nth Kensington.Lost John was my favourite song by Lonnie.Of course the whole of Chris Barbers band were in the 1st place Ken Colyers,have a listen to Colyer doing If I ever cease to love.

Hard to believe that this was banned by the BBC, especially when you consider some of the cr#p they broadcast these days.

Had this on an 45 rpm EP when I was about 15. Over 50 years ago :(
Thanks
