Musically: In the early fifties, you had nothing, and I mean zilch.
In America in the mid-fifties a balloon burst and it took you eight years of mad (copy and cover) that is, until the boys in Liverpool
learned how to do it from listening day-in-day-out to the American records, they emulated.Now, as per usual, they act as if it's theirs.
Also Messrs Donegan & McDavitt hijacked blues & traditional Americana
and called it "Skiffle". After Lonnie Donegan ran out of Woody Guthrie,Leadbelly and various old "coloured classics", he recorded his own wonderful hits like,"My old man's a dustman"--"Does your chewing gum lose it's flavour"---------From the sublime to the Shit.
